    “Soon, with a noise like tambourines,
    Came her attendant Byzantines.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “Some fluctuating notions concerning repentance, virtue, honor, morality ... hovered around Lady Dellwyn’s thoughts but were too wavering to bring her to any fixed determination. She became a constant attendant from one public place to another, where she met with many mortifications. But yet even these were not quite so dreadful to her as to retire and be subjected to her own company alone.”
    —Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)

    “Every human being has, like Socrates, an attendant spirit; and wise are they who obey its signals. If it does not always tell us what to do, it always cautions us what not to do.”
    —Lydia M. Child (1802–1880)
