Journalists, photographers, secretaries, sycophants, script girls, and set dressers milled and stirred around him, activity ... irresistibly reminiscent of the movement of maggots upon rotting meat.”

“This stable is a Prince’s court.
This crib His chair of state;
The beasts are parcel of His pomp,
The wooden dish His plate.”
