    Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)

    And there’s a score of duchesses, surpassing womankind,
    Or who have found a painter to make them so for pay

    I knew a phoenix in my youth, so let them have their day.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    No sane local official who has hung up an empty stocking over the municipal fireplace, is going to shoot Santa Claus just before a hard Christmas.

    the pin men of madness in marathon trim
    race round the track of the stadium pupil.
