...this mental somnambulism, that dares everything and is conscious of nothing; this yellow sunflower, frilled shirt, plastered hairism! Shade of John Gilpin! Is this dilute extract of rose water and weak bombast, this white livered sentimentality, the consummation of our boasted modern culture? We are humbled in sack-cloth and ashes. We only hope that in edging his way into fame, Mr. Wilde will not dislodge from their niche of honor any of the old worthies we have been accustomed to venerate as the lares of the temple of fame...

First and nearest to the throne of Prince Presistrardin * was the tent of the famous and redoubtable knight, Sir Triangle de Rhombus. His well-knit though slender and youthful frame was encased...
...middle of a ten-acre lot, around which were a number of buildings, one or two of which had a painfully familiar look, as if they were the ghosts of former friends. My interlocutor was a young man of eighteen or so, elegantly attired in a suit of white cloth of a peculiar texture. On his right sleeve was what I at once recognized as a Tabular View, on his left a College Directory, on the back of his coat was the seal of Harvard in crimson; he wore a cap on which appeared the number 2004.
