Criticism has plucked the imaginary flowers on the chain not in order that man shall continue to bear that chain without fantasy or consolation, but so that he shall throw off the chain and pluck the living flower.
If it's any consolation, Princess, I think he's a supercilious, salacious sap." "You've been reading the dictionary!" "My only hope of comprehending your conversation, my petite sesquipedalian.
