Charles Stuart Calverley

“Read not Milton, for he is dry; nor Shakespeare, for he wrote of common life.”

“I cannot sing the old songs now! It is not that I deem them low, 'Tis that I can't remember how They go.”

“I know you've been married to the same woman for 69 years. That is marvellous. It must be very inexpensive.”

“Meaning, however, is no great matter.”
