“When her guests were awash with champagne and with gin,
She was recklessly sober, as sharp as a pin.
An abstemious man would reel at her look,
As she rolled a bright eye and praised his last book.”

“We have need of history in its entirety, not to fall back into it, but to see if we can escape from it.”
