Of a silent crowd walking under a wall,
Leaving a football match, perhaps, or a pit,
All moving the same way.”

And I’ll meet the proper man with the proper position. And I’ll make a proper wife who can run a proper home and raise proper children. And I’ll be happy, because when you’re proper, you’re safe.”
—Daniel Taradash (b. 1913)
