    “And now, dear little children, who may this story read,
    To idle, silly, flattering words, I pray you ne’er give heed;
    Unto an evil counselor close heart, and ear, and eye,
    And take a lesson from this tale of the Spider and the Fly.”
    —Mary Howitt (1799–1888)

    you heap roses above a grave;
    a woman under the earth
    is safe,
    a woman dead
    is beloved.”
