    And then her great weight below the waist, her vast pale belly
    With a thin young yellow little paw hanging out, and straggle of a
    long thin ear, like ribbon,
    Like a funny trimming to the middle of her belly, thin little dangle
    of an immature paw, and one thin ear.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    “You have created a monster and it will destroy you.”
    —Garrett Fort (1900–1945)

    “Therefore it was surprising that, as we kept the newspapers from
    Mother,
    She died feeling responsible for a disaster unverified,
    Murmuring, in her sleep as it seemed, the ancient slogan
    Noblesse oblige.”
    —Josephine Miles (1911–1985)
