    Toward heaven still,

    But I am done with apple-picking now.”

    That, like a wounded snake, drags its slow length along.”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    “During the long ages of class rule, which are just beginning to cease, only one form of sovereignty has been assigned to all men—that, namely, over all women.
