    We may live without poetry, music and art;
    We may live without conscience, and live without heart;
    We may live without friends; we may live without books;
    But civilized man cannot live without cooks.
    He may live without books,--what is knowledge but grieving?
    He may live without hope,--what is hope but deceiving?
    He may live without love,--what is passion but pining?
    But where is the man that can live without dining?

And plunge his fingers in the salad bowl;

Some men are born to feast, and not to fight;
Whose sluggish minds, e'en in fair honor's field,
Still on their dinner turn--
Let such pot-boiling varlets stay at home,
And wield a flesh-hook rather than a sword.
