    “Lo, how finely the Graces can it foote
    To the instrument:
    They dauncen deffly, and singen soote,
    In their meriment.
    Wants not a fourth Grace, to make the daunce even?
    Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)

    Like plowing, housework makes the ground ready for the germination of family life. The kids will not invite a teacher home if beer cans litter the living room. The family isn’t likely to have breakfast together if somebody didn’t remember to buy eggs, milk, or muffins. Housework maintains an orderly setting in which family life can flourish.
    Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
