The Real Thing, Blowed in the Glass
Epigraph
“Speakin’ in general, I ’ave tried ’em all,
The ’appy roads that take you o’er the world.
Speakin’ in general, I ’ave found them good
For such as cannot use one bed too long,
But must get ’ence, the same as I ’ave done,
An’ go observin’ matters till they die.”
—Sestina of the Tramp-Royal
