Benjamin Disraeli1 quote

Improvements succeeded each other so rapidly, that machines which had never been finished were abandoned in the hands of their makers, because new improvements had superseded their utility. — Charles Babbage · 1832William Wordsworth1 quote

We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon! — William Wordsworth · 1807
