In the prison cells of pride,
Lose the freedom of the sod,
Like a colts for work be shod,”

“The older womans love is not love of herself, nor of herself mirrored in a lovers eyes, nor is it corrupted by need. It is a feeling of tenderness so still and deep and warm that it gilds every grassblade and blesses every fly. It includes the ones who have a claim on it, and a great deal else besides. I wouldnt have missed it for the world.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
