“If you’re anxious for to shine in the high esthetic line as a man
of culture rare,

them everywhere.
You must lie upon the daisies and discourse in novel phrases of your
complicated state of mind,
The meaning doesn’t matter if it’s only idle chatter of a
transcendental kind.”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
“The only reason I might go to the funeral is to make absolutely sure that he’s dead.”
