Bloglet, the gentleman's mock turtle soup -- Moss made it sweeter than myrrh ash and dhoup
"A cunning clockmaker did court me as well,
And promised me riches if I'd ring his bell.
So I looked at his clockwork, and said with a shock,
'Your pendulum's far too small for my clock.'"

"Work til youre more a brute than a human being; and then cuddle and squabble and drink til you fall asleep. Oh, it's a fine life, the life of the gutter. It's real: it's warm: it's violent: you can feel it thorugh the thickest skin: you can taste it and smell it without any training or any work. Not like Science and Literature and Classical Music and Philosophy and Art. You find me cold, unfeeling, selfish, dont you? Very well: be off with you to the sort of people you like. Marry some sentimental hog or other with lots of money and a thick pair of lips to kiss you with and a thick pair of boots to kick you with. If you cant appreciate what youve got youd better get what you can appreciate."

"And now there was only one voice, one demand; her own voice into which those millions had entered. A voice like the awful, deep rolling of thunder; a demand like the gathering together of great waters. A terrifying voice that made her ears throb, that made her brain throb, that shook her very entrails, until she must stagger and all but fall beneath this appalling burden of sound that strangled her in its will to be uttered. 'God,' she gasped, 'we believe; we have told You we believe... We have not denied You, then rise up and defend us. Acknowledge us, oh God, before the whole world. Give us also the right to our existence!'"

"You are so beautiful! You wear a diadem of peacock plumes, crocodile-shaped rings adorn your ears, vermilion marks your forehead, your dark profile and large liquid eyes allure me. The melody of your flute is like nectar, a necklace of pearls adorns your breast."

Hermes, Lord, you who lead the ghosts home:
But this time I am not happy; I want to die, to see the moist lotus open along Acheron."

"I can love both fair and brown;
Her whom abundance melts, and her whom want betrays,
Her who loves loneness best, and her who masks and plays,
Her whom the country formed, and whom the town,
Her who believes, and her who tries,
Her who still weeps with spongy eyes,
And her who is dry cork, and never cries;
I can love her, and her, and you and you,
I can love any, so she be not true."

ah-ha! Finally rolled over. Well, yes. Starting from now will be a page full of quotes. Minus this one and the last one, naturally. And it won't be as many as Moss, because he set my page shorter than his, so poot. But they'll be crisp and pearly, have no fear.
