SeƱor Judge, she replied proudly, drawing herself to her full height, I am not of those who are one thing today and another tomorrow!”

“If only he would not pity us so much,
Weaken our fate, relieve us of woe both great
And small, a constant fellow of destiny,
A too, too human god, self-pitys kin
And uncourageous genesis . . .”
—Wallace Stevens (18791955)
