Dry Bohns

D.S. Carne-Ross (1921-2010), "A Modest Proposal: To Whom It May Concern," Arion 4.3 (Autumn, 1965) 358-360 (at 358):
The Greekless public asks for bread and it is given—what? Not even dry Bohns (which at least never claimed to be anything else), but harlot shapes pretending to a virtue they do not own, their rumps stamped with the impudent claim that they "give you the spirit" of the original.
