Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Bon-Mots of the Nineteenth Century "Humour has justly been regarded as the finest perfection of poetic genius. He who wants it, be his other gifts what they may, has only half a mind; an eye for what is above him, not for what is about him or below him" - Thomas Carlyle. "Wit´s bright rockets with their trains of fire" - Oliver Wendell Holmes. "Let us then laugh heartily at all humorous things, smile at all witty things, and be content to find something wholesome and profitable even in a jest." - Serjeant Cox. "The promptness to laugh is an excellent progenitorial foundation for the wit to come in a people." - George Meredith.
