    “They all came, some wore sentiments
    Emblazoned on T-shirts, proclaiming the lateness
    Of the hour, and indeed the sun slanted its rays
    Through branches of Norfolk Island pine as though
    Politely clearing its throat....”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “What is the reason that women servants ... have much lower wages than men servants ... when in fact our female house servants work much harder than the male?”
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
