Paris, to Cassandra, about Helen: Doesn't she remind you of a nice little gazelle?
Cassandra: No.
Paris: But it was you who told me she reminded you of a gazelle!
Cassandra: I was wrong. I saw some gazelles since then.

Ha ha ha! Well, the note for the quote in my book doesn't give any credit to Yeats for coming up with the gazelle metaphor.
Congrats to Becca for being ever-ready with literary citations.
Congrats to Weston for being hilarious.
