“Good manners, Madam, are had these days not
For your asking, nor mine, nor what-we-used-to-be’s.
The day is a loud grenade that bursts a smile
Of serious weeds in a comic lily plot....”

Many desire to see their names in print,
Many read nothing but the race reports.
Much is your reading, but not the Word of GOD....”
