    “What sport shall we devise here in this garden
    To drive away the heavy thought of care?”

    “The sport of digging the bait is nearly equal to that of catching the fish, when one’s appetite is not too keen.”

    “Rabelais, for instance, is intolerable; one chapter is better than a volume,—it may be sport to him, but it is death to us. A mere humorist, indeed, is a most unhappy man; and his readers are most unhappy also.”
