"Come away with me and they won't see us for the dust!" Great line for sure. It loses it luster not a little, however, when it is learned that the inspiration for such an exclamation was a married woman and the caller a married man. The bloom is lopped clean off the rose when it is further revealed that the adulteress was shortly thereafter hacked to pieces with an ax whose wielder was the adulterer's deranged butler. The tragic couple: Frank Lloyd Wright and Mamah Cheney. The place: Taliesin in Wisconsin. Had they only read Anna Karenina or noticed Lazarus at the gate.
