    Which back they give at cross-time on a sponge,
    In bitter vinegar.”
    —Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

    “One realises, with horror, that the race of men is almost extinct in Europe. Only Christ-like heroes and woman-worshipping Don Juans, and rabid equality-mongrels. The old, hardy, indomitable male is gone.”
