    “It’s certain that fine women eat
    A crazy salad with their meat
    Whereby the Horn of Plenty is undone.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “I should like to have seen a gallery of coronation beauties, at Westminster Abbey, confronted for a moment by this band of Island girls; their stiffness, formality, and affectation contrasted with the artless vivacity and unconcealed natural graces of these savage maidens. It would be the Venus de’ Medici placed beside a milliner’s doll.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)
