“For the longest time, marriage has had a guilty conscience about itself. Should we believe it?Yes, we should believe it.”

“No more shall the war cry sever,
Or the winding rivers be red:
They banish our anger forever
When they laurel the graves of our dead!
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment Day:
Love and tears for the Blue;
Tears and love for the Gray.”
—Francis Miles Finch (18271907)
“Such is my jealousy and such my hate
though I would state it otherwise.”
—Hilda Doolittle (18861961)

—Erica Jong (20th century)
