Under the brown fog of a winter dawn,
A crowd flowed over London Bridge, so many,
I had not thought death had undone so many.”

To do our country loss; and if to live,
The fewer men, the greater share of honour.”

Who got on a bus bound for Ealing.

Please dont spit on the floor,
So he carefully spat on the ceiling.”

“Men will say that in supporting their wives, in furnishing them with houses and food and clothes, they are giving the women as much money as they could ever hope to earn by any other profession. I grant it; but between the independent wage-earner and the one who is given his keep for his services is the difference between the free-born and the chattel.”
—Elizabeth M. Gilmer (18611951)
