That give a coasting welcome ere it comes,
And wide unclasp the tables of their thoughts
To every ticklish reader! Set them down
For sluttish spoils of opportunity
And daughters of the game.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“The evening falters. Couples in their coats
Are leaving gaps already, and the rest
Move tables closer.”
