Daily quote by Don Juan (Byron)

• If all these seem a heterogeneous mass
  To be assembled at a country seat,
  Yet think, a specimen of every class
  Is better than a humdrum tete-a-tete.
  The days of Comedy are gone, alas!
  When Congreve's fool could vie with Molière's bête:
  Society is smooth'd to that excess,
  That manners hardly differ more than dress.
