Nay then, farewell:
I have touched the highest point of all my greatness,
And from that full meridian of my glory,
I haste now to my setting. I shall fall
Like a bright exhalation in the evening,
And no man see me more.
Cardinal Wolsey, Henry VIII 3.2.270-75
After finishing a book I usually try to find some quote that I thought was a sock-knocker, but Henry VIII (Sorry, Shakespeare/Fletcher) made this difficult. But, hey, what an exit from our Cardinal, who was portrayed almost immediately as a giant penis.
