Rudyard Kipling - When next he came to me he was drunk...
When next he came to me he was drunk-royally drunk on many poets for the first time revealed to him. His pupils were dilated, his words tumbled over each other, and he wrapped himself in quotations-as a beggar would enfold himself in the purple of emperors. (Rudyard Kipling)

When next he came to me he was drunk-royally drunk on many poets for the first time revealed to him. His pupils were dilated, his words tumbled over each other, and he wrapped himself in quotations-as a beggar would enfold himself in the purple of emperors.

Gentlemen, I take it we are all in complete agreement on the decision here. Then, I propose we postpone further discussion of this matter until the next meeting to give ourselves time to develop disagreement, and perhaps gain some understanding of what the decision is all about. View quote
