Heigho!—and in this way half London pass what is called life.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    It certainly must have been a relief for the women of the country to realize that one could be a woman and a lady and yet be thoroughly political.

    These South savannahs may yet prove battle-fields.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
