    “That’s my last Duchess painted on the wall,
    Looking as if she were alive. I call”
    —Robert Browning (1812–1889)

    “Last night, party at Lansdowne-House. Tonight, party at Lady Charlotte Greville’s—deplorable waste of time, and something of temper. Nothing imparted—nothing acquired—talking without ideas—if any thing like thought in my mind, it was not on the subjects on which we were gabbling. Heigho!—and in this way half London pass what is called life.”
