In the early years of his career, British actor Rex Harrison wore a

Stevens's "Le Mononcle de Mon Oncle" (that's Wallace Stevens's)
is a classic early poem. Here, the mononcle implies an
insular perspective, a dandish stance, etc. Take your choice,
but the mononcle is _very much_ there. (A lovely poem and,
in a way, a warm-up for "Sunday Morning" and other longish
meditative poems.

Lord Peter sighed in exasperation. "Bunter," he said, "doesn't ANYONE
read any more?"
"No, my Lord," said Bunter. "Oh, except for Jeeves, and Bertie Wooster.
The former reads only Spinoza, and the latter reads only cheap
thrillers."
