“These was all nice pictures, I reckon, but I didn’t somehow seem to take to them, because if ever I was down a little, they always give me the fan-tods.

But I reckoned, that with her disposition, she was having a better time in the graveyard.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“I am a lantern—
My head a moon
Of Japanese paper, my gold beaten skin
Infinitely delicate and infinitely expensive.”
