“We used chamber-pots a good deal.... My mother ... loved to repeat: “When did the queen reign over China?” This whimsical and harmless scatological pun was my first introduction to the wonderful world of verbal transformations, and also a first perception that a joke need not be funny to give pleasure.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)

“Though it is curious here,
unusually awkward to walk.
It is without grace.
There is no rhythm
in this country of dirt.”
