Pert wench, down to the nineteenth century:

Asserts the argument that you are stale,
Flat and unprofitable, importunate but pale,
Lithe Corpse!”

“We are not very much to blame for our bad marriages. We live amid hallucinations; and this especial trap is laid to trip our feet with, and all are tripped up first and last.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
