"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
Is this a joke by Strauss on all emperors? A mixture of pomposity and faggy prancing around. Or is that just my modern take? Anyway, I like Strauss waltzes.
