There is so much written about the cost and the changes in your way of life, but no one ever tells you that what they are going to hand you in the hospital is power, whether you want it or not....

—Anna Quindlen (20th century)

At midday when a sunny summer breeze
Has dried the dew and all its ropes relent,”
