“And I have always been his friend:
And, though my means to give are small,
At least I can afford to lend.
How few, in this cold age of greed,
Do good, except on selfish grounds!
But I can feel for Peter’s need,
And I WILL LEND HIM FIFTY POUNDS!””
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

“That cold accretion called the world, which, so terrible in the mass, is so unformidable, even pitiable, in its units.”
