Rules are rules. I don't believe in gaming the system — it is beneath my dignity as a poet and champion of the Enlightenment.

Sure, I would like people to admire my work. I am vain that way.

But I try to keep my vanity in check, because it eats up precious time, contributing nothing to my work.

In the age of pandemics, do you find it difficult to get good caviar without catching Covid from the lower classes?

Caviar by Catapult is on the way!

We fly top-quality sturgeon caviar direct by jet from the depths of Lake Baikal to the Amazon delivery depot nearest you.

Then we load the caviar in our patented Super Catapult and fling it safely to your house, untouched by the lower classes.
