“High on a throne of his own labors reared.
At his right hand our young Ascanius sate,
Rome’s other hope and pillar of the state.
His brows thick fogs, instead of glories, grace,
And lambent dullness played around his face.”
—John Dryden (1631–1700)

“One can smell it turning to gas; if one were Baudelaire
one could probably hear it turning to marimba music.”
