Have you not heard
When a man marries, dies, or turns Hindoo,
His best friends hear no more of him?

Letter to Maria Gisborne (1820)

His fine wit
Makes such a wound, the knife is lost in it.

Letter to Maria Gisborne (1820)

Though we eat little flesh and drink no wine,
Yet let's be merry: we'll have tea and toast;
Custards for supper, and an endless host
Of syllabubs and jellies and mince-pies,
And other such ladylike luxuries.

Letter to Maria Gisborne (1820)
