in a riverside thicket,
a flock of birds
flies up,
mourning the loss
with their wings.”

“A man’s library is a sort of harem.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Fear, coercion, punishment, are the masculine remedies for moral weakness, but statistics show their failure for centuries. Why not change the system and try the education of the moral and intellectual faculties, cheerful surroundings, inspiring influences?

—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
