>From the play "Patience", by W. S. Gilbert and Sir Arthur Sullivan

If you're anxious for to shine in the high aesthetic line as a man of
   culture rare,
You must get up all the germs of the transcendental terms, and plant them
   everywhere.
You must lie upon the daisies and discourse in novel phrases of your
   complicated state of mind.
The meaning doesn't matter if it's only idle chatter of a
   transcendental kind.

And everyone will say,
As you walk your mystic way,
"If this young man expresses himself in terms too deep for *me*,
Why, what a very singularly deep young man this deep young man must be!"
