“It does not come to a man that to be separated from a woman is to be dislocated from his very self. A man has but one centre, and that is himself. A woman has two. Though the second may never be seen by her, may live in the arms of another, may do all for that other that man can do for woman,still, still, though he be half the globe asunder from her, still he is to her the half of her existence.”
—Anthony Trollope (18151882)
