    Conscience was the barmaid of the Victorian soul. Recognizing that human beings were fallible and that their failings, though regrettable, must be humoured, conscience would permit, rather ungraciously perhaps, the indulgence of a number of carefully selected desires.
    —C.E.M. (Cyril Edwin Mitchinson)

    “There are no millers any more,”
    Was all that she had heard him say:
    And he had lingered at the door
    So long that it seemed yesterday.
    —Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)
