There was a little rough horse-play and the exchange of favourite witticisms, and there was some preaching and a great singing of irreverent parodies; there was little drunkenness and little bad behaviour except for half a dozen troops or companies of girls. They were quite young, none of them apparently over fifteen or sixteen.
"There is nothing in the world the matter with me," she said, almost in her old bright manner "now that you are back " "I do not approve of orchids," jerked Cairn doggedly. "They are parodies of what a flower should be. Place an Odontoglossum beside a rose, and what a distorted unholy thing it looks!" "Unholy?" laughed Myra. "Unholy, yes! they are products of feverish swamps and deathly jungles.
Some, pretending not to know him, would decry his writings, and praise those of his contemporaries; others would laud his verses to the skies, but purposely misquote and burlesque them; others would annoy him with parodies; while one young lady, whom he was teasing, as he supposed, with great success and infinite humor, silenced his rather boisterous laughter by quoting his own line about "the loud laugh that speaks the vacant mind."

All night long, he brushed by single persons passing downward beggarly women of the street, great, weary, muddy labourers, poor scarecrows of men, pale parodies of women but all drowsy and weary like himself, and all single, and all brushing against him as they passed.
'Princess Ida' contains some of his most brilliant excursions into the realm of parody parodies of grand opera, parodies of the traditional Handelian manner, parodies of sentimental love-making but it also contains some of the purest and most beautiful music he ever wrote.
