Inspector Morse, a crossword fiend, said there is somethingly inherently wrong with people who do them. As a fellow-addict, I was doing my daily one from the Simon & Shuster Crossword Book, #215 (NY 2000), puzzle 23, and came to clue 23 across: Emperor satirized in “Satyricon.” Answer: Nero. So, at least one aspect of the long-running Petronian date has become well-entrenched in our mass culture. (Barry Baldwin)

Simon Raven, ‘Nymphs and Satyrs & Mr Connolly,’ London Magazine, August 1963, praises Cyril Connolly’s novel The Rock Pool for its “Petronian” quality, which lay in its “air of burlesque, of succinctness, contrasted with willful inconsequence, which informs what remains of the Satyricon.”

Virginia Nicholson, Among The Bohemians: Experiments in Living 1900–1939 (London–New York: Viking/Harper Collins, 2002) p. 115: “Cecil Beaton, arbiter elegantiarum of artistic society for 30-odd years.” Id., p. 124, quotes from Ethel Mannin, Sounding Brass (novel, 1925), on materialism v. bohemia: “John Pringle was immensely proud of his collection of furniture, pictures, china, rugs, and he knew the price of every object and quoted it with a naive delight in which there was no snobbery. He had never got over being able to pay high prices for things. He was obsessed with Things, Purchases, Possessions, Prices. And everyone of his possessions he loved with a deep and intense passion because of its full-blooded monetary value.” Hard to believe Ethel Mannin did not have a nodding acquaintance with Petronius’ Trimalchio.
