    “I was the rector’s son, born to the anglican order,

    With ruffs about their necks, their portion sure.”
    —Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)

    “Sarcasm I now see to be, in general, the language of the Devil; for which reason I have long since as good as renounced it.”
    —Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
