Tim, ii290: 'no gift to him/ But breeds the giver a return exceeding/ All use of quittance'. The GIFT (of sex) given Timon by his sycophantic followers, ...


Second Lord He pours it out; Plutus, the god of gold,
Is but his steward: no meed, but he repays
Sevenfold above itself; no gift to him,
But breeds the giver a return exceeding
All use of quittance.




錢鍾書譯 potlatch為"不得落節" (管錐篇 頁100)

　薛稷(649-713)，…..因爲薛稷的書法能夠很好地繼承褚遂良的筆法和風格，“可謂河南公(褚遂良)之高足，甚爲時所珍尚。”所以，當時就有“買褚得薛，不失其節”的說法。

薛稷書語（買褚得薛不落節）
