The world's as ugly, ay, as sin,
And almost as delightful (The Jester's Plea)
Frederick Locker-Lampson quote It is a good thing to read books, and need not be a bad thing to write them, but in any case, it is a pious thing to collect them.
Frederick Locker-Lampson quote Vanitas vanitatum' has rung in the ears
Of gentle and simple for thousands of years;
The wail still is heard, yet its notes never scare
Either simple or gentle from Vanity Fair
