Bio:"My father and mother were honest, though poor--"
"Skip all that!" cried the Bellman in haste.
"If it once becomes dark, there's no chance of a Snark--
We have hardly a minute to waste!"

*

Although my physiognomy
Betray no hint of bonhomie,
Yet of mortals you will find
I'm by no means the most unkind.

*

But how am I entitled to make my fortune (which cannot be done without all this anxiety and drudgery) who can do hardly anything at all, and never anything but what I like to do? I rise when I please, breakfast at length, write what comes into my head, and after taking a mutton-chop and a dish of strong tea, go to the play, and thus my time passes. (Hazlitt)

*

For God's sake let us sit upon our arses
And tell sad stories till we get catharsis.
