An errant muse
"I would especially like to recourt the Muse of poetry, who ran off with the mailman four years ago, and drops me only a scribbled postcard from time to time."

Princess Margaret and Lord Snowdon
Though a bit unorthodox, this comes from Wikipedia, :
"Snowdon did not read books and had no intellectual interests, but Margaret did; Snowdon therefore took to leaving lists between the pages for her to find, of 'things I hate about you.' According to biographers Sarah Bradford and Anne de Courcy, one note read: 'You look like a Jewish manicurist and I hate you.'"
