    When the Prince of Piedmont [later Charles Emmanuel IV, King of Sardinia] was seven years old, his preceptor instructing him in mythology told him all the vices were enclosed in Pandora’s box. “What! all!” said the Prince. “Yes, all.” “No,” said the Prince; “curiosity must have been without.”

    Daddy?
    That’s another kind of prison.
    It’s not the prince at all,
    but my father
    drunkenly bent over my bed,
    circling the abyss like a shark....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
