“How we dwelt in two worlds
the daughters and the mothers
in the kingdom of the sons.”

Some few have handsome riders, are garlanded
On delicate sensitive ear or tossing mane,
But wearied running round and round in their courses
All break and vanish, and evil gathers head:
Herodias’ daughters have returned again.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Damn me, what a misery it is to have daughters when a man has a good mare and dogs.”
