How to Manage Your Nose

1640

“It also is plaine, that it is very ill, to be carelesse concerning thy nostrils, for there be some that breath very loud through them, and at times wipe them with their hands and then rub one hand against the other, at other times they thrust their fingers into their nostrils, and make Pellets of that they picke out, even before every body, that is present: as in like manner, some are wont to make cakes of the waxe, which they picke out of their ears, and into this carelesenesse and slovenlinesse we have observed many to fall.”

Lucas Gracián Dantisco, Galateo espagnol, or The Spanish Gallant

You know you’re a real Gallant when you can resist making sculptures with your bodily secretions.
