Show Nothing Is New Gabriel Wells paid $68,000 the other day for Shelley's own copy of "Queen Mab." He said to a reporter afterwards after-wards : "Shelley's 'Queen Mab' shows us how old our new ideas are. All these new anti-marriage and anti-everything ideas of our Bolsheviks and near-Bolsheviks you'll find everyone of them in 'Queen Mab.' "We change little. In the height of VIctorianisra a girl of sixteen was preparing pre-paring to be confirmed. Her minister asked her one day if she had ever been kissed.- Yes, she admitted, she had. " 'How many men,' said the minister, minis-ter, 'have you kissed?' " 'Doctor Fifthly,' the girl answered, I came here to he confirmed, not to boast.' " |
