“Words, words,
words.”
— Hamlet (2.2)
List #9: (g) aristocrat, (h) pervade
“So you are an aristocrat?
I’ve read some things about your class—
Your fondness for the looking glass—
I guess you're sick of hearing that?”
“Well, yes, I am—those things pervade
The various kinds of media.
And no encyclopedia
Can tell you more. How ’bout a trade?
“I take your place? And you take mine?”
“I don’t think I would like the change—
So much in life to rearrange!
I like my life right now just fine.”
