"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh
Wow, this music had me imagining myself sitting in a private upper-level box dressed in silk, pearls and diamonds, with feathers in my piled-high hair, looking at the ornate stage through my lorgnette. I sort of understand now why Mozart was so much more popular than Salieri.
