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

them everywhere.

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)
“A drunkard would not give money to sober people. He said they would only eat it, and buy clothes and send their children to school with it.”

While those changes went forward apace, the antebellum South changed comparatively little, clinging to its rural, agricultural, labor-intensive economy and its traditional folk culture.”
