“My husband sings Baa Baa black sheep and we pretend
that all’s certain and good, that the marriage won’t end.”

“Our fathers water’d with their tears
This sea of time whereon we sail,
Their voices were in all men’s ears
Who pass’d within their puissant hail.
Still the same ocean round us raves,
But we stand mute, and watch the waves.”
