Quote from this book "When I was an Apostle, it was all G E Moore - 'the pleasures of human intercourse and the enjoyment of beautiful objects.' Some of us said, why not combine the two and enjoy the pleasures of intercourse with beautiful human objects? But that was before the war, of course, when it was still all right to make jokes. Flippancy's very much frowned on now, one hears. " Act 2, Scene II Secondhand booksellers |
