"Homer's idea is a good one, and Samson was wise in backing it up.

The poets need to be concentrated somewhere where they will not be a nuisance to other people, and where other people will not be a nuisance to them.

Homer ought to have a place to compose in where the _vingt-et- un_ players will not interrupt his frenzies, and, on the other hand, the _vingt-et-un_ and other players should be protected from the wooers of the muse.

I'll vote to have the Poets' Corner, and in it I move that Cassius's slate idea be carried out.

It will be a great saving, and if the corner we select be far enough away from the other corners of the club, the squeaking of the slate-pencils need bother no one." "I agree to that," said Blackstone.
