    “It’s up the spout and Charley Wag
    With wipes and tickers and what not
    Until the squeezer nips your scrag,
    Booze and the blowens cop the lot.”

    “Power? It’s like a Dead Sea fruit. When you achieve it, there is nothing there.”
    —Harold MacMillan (1894–1986)

    “The Nature of Familiar Letters, written, as it were, to the Moment, while the Heart is agitated by Hopes and Fears, on Events undecided, must plead an Excuse for the Bulk of a Collection of this Kind. Mere Facts and Characters might be comprised in a much smaller Compass: But, would they be equally interesting?”
    —Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
