    There was a young lady of Ryde
    Who was carried far out by the tide.
    Cried a man-eating shark,
    “How’s this for a lark?
    I knew that the Lord would provide.”

    I don’t care very much for literary shrines and haunts ... I knew a woman in London who boasted that she had lodgings from the windows of which she could throw a stone into Carlyle’s yard. And when I said, “Why throw a stone into Carlyle’s yard?” she looked at me as if I were an imbecile and changed the subject.
    Carolyn Wells (1862–1942)
