Show me an eave, I’ll raise an brawling bird. It’s what they do and eaves are for, and less absurd, You must admit, than red and mournful lips Crying drouth and ignorance of the labouring ships Which beat gin-laden through the dolphin-haunted strait. Forget the empty sky and bring a glass: Man’s saddest lamentation is ‘Too late!’ ---

Have you any idea how much pollution that amount of water vessels generates? And the extra weight? And the lack of soothing rain defeats the porpoise! ---

The extra weight was definitely part of the purpose. When you have a trebuchet, everything looks like a fortification. ---

Someone should have studied their Belloc: _Behold the Electrician where he stands: Soot, oil, and verdigris are on his hands; Large spots of grease defile his dirty clothes, The while his conversation drips with oaths. Shall such a being perish in its youth? Alas! it is indeed the fatal truth. In that dull brain, beneath that hair unkempt, Familiarity has bred contempt. We warn him of the gesture all too late: Oh, Heartless Jove! Oh, Adamantine Fate! A random touch — a hand’s imprudent slip — The Terminals — a flash — a sound like " Zip! " A smell of burning fills the started Air — The Electrician is no longer there!_ ---
