Quarrel with a purple hanging because it's no column from clic Pathenon.  Here's splotchy velvet set to hide a door in the wall
 and there-there's the man himself praying!  Oh quarrel wether 'twas Pope Clenient raped Persephone or-did devil wear a
 mitre in that year?  Come, there's much use in being thin on a windy day if the cloth's cut well.  And oak leaves will not come
 on maples, nor birch trees either-tliat is provided-, but pass it over, pass it over.
 

 Awoman of good figurs, if she be young and gay, welcomes the wind that presses tight upon her from forehead to ankles
 revealing the impatient mountains and valleys of her secret desire.  The wind brings release to her.  But the eind  is no blessing
 to all women.  At the same title it is idle to quarrel over the relative merits of one thing and another, oak leaves will not come
 on maples.  But there is a deeper folly yet in such quarreling: the perfections revealed by a Rembrandt are equal whether it be
 question of a laughing Saskia or an old woman cleaning her nails.
