    “I am succeeding very well so far with my legging, but it is a very mean business for a man that has been well brought up to engage in. It is the only way to get a bill from Cincinnati through, so it must be done.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    “I could see the thing
    with its black head
    but there wasn’t a tear left
    and the scar of my wound
    was hard.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
