“The man, or the boy, in his development is psychologically deterred from incorporating serving characteristics by an easily observable fact: there are already people around who are clearly meant to serve and they are girls and women.

—Peter De Vries (b. 1910)

Than wish a snow in May’s new-fangled shows,
But like of each thing that in season grows.”
