    People who live in quiet, remote places are apt to give good dinners. They are the oft-recurring excitement of an otherwise unemotional, dull existence. They linger, each of these dinners, in our palimpsest memories, each recorded clearly, so that it does not blot out the others.
    M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)

    We named you Joy.
    I, who was never quite sure
    about being a girl, needed another
    life, another image to remind me.
    And this was my worst guilt; you could not cure
    nor soothe it. I made you to find me.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    France has lost a battle. But France has not lost the war!
    —Charles De Gaulle (1890–1970)
