O’er all the Italian fields where still doth sway
The triple tyrant; that from these may grow
A hundredfold, who, having learnt thy way,
Early may fly the Babylonian woe.”

—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
“To flatter and follow others, without being flattered and followed in turn, is but a state of half enjoyment.”
