“As to 'Don Juan,' confess that it is the sublime of that there sort of writing; it may be bawdy, but is it not good English? It may be profligate, but is it not life, is it not the thing? Could any man have written it who has not lived in the world?”
Lord Byron
“From the sublime to the ridiculous is but a step.”
“From sublime to ridiculousness there is only one step.”
