If beings of Mythology Could live at my commands I'd choose to be, Who had a hundred hands:
And every hand of mine

Additional quotes by Victor Daley

Ah apple caused man's fall, as some believe; But that old Snake, malevolently wise,
A deadlier snare set when he left to Eve His tongue of honey and mesmeric eyes.

Long ago I did discover It was fine to be a lover,
But the heartache and the worry spoil the game: Now I think, like an old vandal, That the game's not worth the candle—
And I know some other vandals think the same.

O reader, deem me not a sham,
For I in purple earnest am!
