    The principle of asceticism never was, nor ever can be, consistently pursued by any living creature. Let but one tenth part of the inhabitants of the earth pursue it consistently, and in a day’s time they will have turned it into a Hell.
    Jeremy Bentham (1748–1832)

    This is the day His hour of life draws near,
    Let me get ready from head to foot for it
    Most handily with eyes to pick the year
    For small feed to reward a feathered wit.
