• About His Person

• "Tonight I can write the saddest lines.

I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too."

• "But said some things and never meant them –

sweet nothings anybody could have mentioned.

And left unsaid some things he should have spoken, about the heart, where it hurt exactly, and how often."

• "SHE walks in beauty, like the night

Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that 's best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes"

• "At the same time how to scorn tradition and enjoy it.

How to live like a king, quite happily, in debt."

• Fisticuffs
• Sartorial
• Discombobulation

• There but for the grace of God go I

• A whole different kettle of fish
• Thou shalt not fuck with this
