come one, come all

     Hyacinths have poked their Heads, burst the veil of Earth, as of 
     Bodices, discharged Perfume away into the cool Breeze off Central 
     Park,--the Rollerblades are brought out and their Wheels carefully 
     dried and greased, shoes are deposited in the back Packs, a caster'd 
     foot Ascent made upon the great Street, in an increasing Vigor since 
     Winter, punctuated by the tooting Horns of Hackneys and Motor-Cars, 
     fragrant with Daffodils, white Daisies, Willow, sweet Fern,--the 
     P-listers, having all upon the Fly, among the rhythmic drips of 
     Guinness and Bass, quaff'd and slurped what they might, proceed, as 
     upon each evening all this greening April, to a comfortable Room in 
     the midst of the City, years since given over to their devoted 
     Musings.

     Should the amiable Mr. Thomas Ruggles Pynchon favor us with his 
     presence, he can be assur'd that his Glass would always be full.
     
     Now drink we, quod she, of this mazer and quaff ye this mead which is 
     not indeed parcel of my body but my soul's bodiment.
