That would just write you down a mere Philistine fool.

I am not quite sure that I quite understand

How they've suddenly found all our fads are degenerate;

Why Maeterlinck, Ibsen, Verlaine, Sarah Grand,

Tolstoi, Grant Allen, Zola, are "lumped"—but, at any rate,

I know I'm relieved from one horrible bore,—

I need not admire what I hate any more.
