“When I lie down to love,
old dwarf heart shakes her head.
Like an imbecile she was born old.”

“If we are the younger, we may envy the older. If we are the older, we may feel that the younger is always being indulged. In other words, no matter what position we hold in family order of birth, we can prove beyond a doubt that we’re being gypped.”
