Quotation from Ghosts by John Banville
"...even the worst of Licht's stewed sludge will taste like something halfway decent if it is served in, say, an antique fluted gold-rimmed piece of bird's-egg-blue Royal Doulton. I love bone china, the very idea of it, I want to take the whole thing, cup and saucer and all, into my mouth and crack it lingeringly between my teeth, like meringue. Tea tastes of other lives..."
