• There's a joy without canker or cark, There's a pleasure eternally new, 'T is to gloat on the glaze and the mark Of china that's ancient and blue.

    Andrew Lang: There's a joy without canker or cark, 
 There's a pleasure eternally new, 
 'T is to gloat on the glaze and the mark 
 Of china that's ancient and blue.
