“Be an architect, not only in my office time, during all my waking moment, even I making love to a girl.
Girls love lawyer, doctors, & policemen, but prefer architect to make love to them.
Love my work, and girls will love me.
In my youth, making love to a girl,
in my middle, increase the number,
in my old, flatter them, because only that I can do.
My live always be in difficulties, but I will die happy.”

Harold Desbrowe-Annear, Melbourne 1889
