A Dram of Epigrams in Art, Poetry, Literature, Politics, Religion and Elsewhere For our purposes and pleasure, we will construe the term "epigram" broadly enough to include short poems, one-liners, zingers, spoonerisms, witticisms, etc. Epigrams about Epigrams What is an epigram? A dwarfish whole; Its body brevity, and wit its soul. Samuel Taylor Coleridge Since brevity is the soul of wit, And tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes, I will be brief. William Shakespeare If, with the literate, I am Impelled to try an epigram, I never seek to take the credit; We all assume that Oscar said it. Dorothy Parker Wilde about Oscar America is the only country that went from barbarism to decencies without civilization in between. Oscar Wilde The public is wonderfully tolerant. It forgives everything except genius. Oscar Wilde A cynic is a man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing. Oscar Wilde I can resist everything except temptation.

But her work has now become embroiled in a caustic yet far from brief court case that returns to trial in Manhattan today. Skip to next paragraph Associated Press The case pits Stuart Y. Silverstein, a Los Angeles lawyer who researched and assembled 122 previously uncollected poems and verses in the book “Not Much Fun: The Lost Poems of Dorothy Parker,” against Penguin Putnam, which published “Dorothy Parker, Complete Poems,” and used Mr. Silverstein’s book as a source for the last chapter without giving him any credit or paying him any royalties. The court ordered the case to return to Federal District Court for a further ruling on whether Mr. Silverstein, by excluding some works, demonstrated sufficient creativity in the selection and categorization of the poems in his volume to be entitled to royalties and other damages.

Dorothy Rothschild Parker By Daniel Itzkovitz Brilliant, unrelenting, and fiercely witty, Dorothy Rothschild Parker came to signify the urbane and irreverent sensibility of New York City in the 1920s. As an adult, Parker rarely spoke of her family and Upper West Side upbringing, although she often hinted that her past had been tragic. The youngest of three siblings by many years, Dorothy was born on August 22, 1893 to a Jewish father, J. Henry Rothschild, and a Scottish mother, Eliza (Marston) Rothschild. Eliza Rothschild died when Parker was five years old, an event that devastated the child. Soon thereafter, her father, who had made a small fortune in the garment industry, married a strict Roman Catholic, whom Dorothy bitterly disliked. As a young girl, she attended, and despised, a Catholic school in Manhattan, later transferring to Miss Dana's, a boarding school. Henry Rothschild told the school authorities that his daughter was Episcopalian, but her dark Jewishness marked her as an outsider. She would always maintain this image of herself, and in the face of early alienation and many disappointments, she developed a biting and irreverent sense of humor. Late in life, she described herself as "one of those awful children who wrote verses," but despite her writerly inclinations, she left school abruptly at age fourteen, never to return, to take care of her ill father, who was once again a widower. When he died in 1913, the twenty-year-old Dorothy made a living by playing piano at a Manhattan dance school.

I won't ask anything else of You, truly I won't. It isn't very much to ask. It would be so little to You, God, such a little, little thing. Only let him telephone now. Please, God. Please, please, please. If I didn't think about it, maybe the telephone might ring. Sometimes it does that. If I could think of something else. If I could think of something else. Knobby if I counted five hundred by fives, it might ring by that time. I'll count slowly. I won't cheat. And if it rings when I get to three hundred, I won't stop; I won't answer it until I get to five hundred. Five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five, thirty, thirty-five, forty, forty-five, fifty.... Oh, please ring. Please. "I'll call you at five, darling." "Good-by, darling.,' He was busy, and he was in a hurry, and there were people around him, but he called me "darling" twice. That's mine, that's mine. I have that, even if I never see him again. Oh, but that's so little. That isn't enough. Nothing's enough, if I never see him again. Please let me see him again, God. Please, I want him so much. I want him so much. I'll be good, God. I will try to be better, I will, If you will let me see him again. If You will let him telephone me. Oh, let him telephone me now. Ah, don't let my prayer seem too little to You, God. You sit up there, so white and old, with all the angels about You and the stars slipping by. And I come to You with a prayer about a telephone call. Ah, don't laugh, God. You see, You don't know how it feels. You're so safe, there on Your throne, with the blue swirling under You. Nothing can touch You; no one can twist Your heart in his hands. This is suffering, God, this is bad, bad suffering. Won't You help me? For Your Son's sake, help me. You said You would do whatever was asked of You in His name. Oh, God, in the name of Thine only beloved Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord, let him telephone me now.

Guns aren't lawful; Nooses give; Gas smells awful; You might as well live. "Resume" by Dorothy Parker Didn't women have to be tough in her day?; she was tough; tough like Lillian Hellman was tough; both heavy drinkers, too; though Hellman wasn't necessarily as pessimistic as Dorothy in spite of having been raked into the dumbass Tailgunner Joe Mc Carthy (sometimes confused with the dummy carved out of a tree-limb, Charley McCarthy, the money-making puppet of Candace Bergen's dad, Edgar Bergen) hearings because of her shacking up with Dashiel Hammett, the detective-story writer who so badly wanted to be a famed "novelist." Lillian could write better than he could, too; and he was a drunk, too. A gang of midtown dailygrowlers used to hang at the Algonquin bar, the little bar just inside the front door on the right as you enter the hotel, and one time a gaggle of these rare birds were drinking heavy and gabbing with an old Broadway songwriter, a really old-style Broadway songwriter with the pencil-thin moustache, the yacht-club blazer, the white silk shirt and the proper, casually worn dude-looking ascot, smoking a pipe (pipe smoking was once big time in NYC), and drinking an "ohhhh-so" dry martini, that only a certain bartender at the Algonquin could make to his satisfaction. Suddenly one of the wolfpack said, "Holy Lamb of God, look at that one..." "What one?" the other males chortled in anticipation of this one's having spotted a woman of much distinction and showing some cleavage and good legs, instead they saw the biggest god-damn midtown rat ambling around the floor of the lobby dining room one could ever imagine, with all the pompous swells sitting there bullshitting about their latest Broadway discovery or the 600-page first novel they've just released and eating their chef specials and this very New-York-looking rat, one of those lean Norwegian rats, the kind that can survive a nuclear attack, was just dashing about totally unnoticed except by the pack of
