    Each man to his stool, with that spur as he would to the lip of
    his mistress. Your diet shall be in all places alike; make not a
    City feast of it, to let the meat cool ere we can agree upon the
    first place; sit, sit. The gods require our thanks.

We may live without poetry, music and art;
We may live without conscience, and live without heart;

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?
