Hot Deserts

    “Good-night to the Season!—the dances,
    The fillings of hot little rooms,
    The glancings of rapturous glances,
    The fancyings of fancy costumes;
    The pleasures which Fashion makes duties,
    The praisings of fiddles and flutes,
    The luxury of looking at beauties,
    The tedium of talking to mutes;”
    —Winthrop Mackworth Praed (1802–1839)

    “Henceforth I shall know
    That Nature ne’er deserts the wise and pure;”
