“Not to these shores she came! this other Thrace,
Environ barbarous to the royal Attic;

Delivered in a cloudless boundless public place
To an inordinate race?”

“Tea, though ridiculed by those who are naturally coarse in their nervous sensibilities ... will always be the favourite beverage of the intellectual.”
