Oscar Wilde
“In a moment of mental abstraction, for which I never can forgive myself,
I deposited the manuscript in the basinette,
and placed the baby in the hand-bag.”
(Miss Prism from ‘The Importance of Being Ernest’)

“one pale woman all alone,
The daylight kissing her wan hair,
Loitered beneath the gas lamps’ flare,
With lips of flame and heart of stone.”
