    —Mary E. Wilkins Freeman (1852–1930)

    “It has been my fate in a long life of production to be credited chiefly with the equivocal virtue of industry, a quality so excellent in morals, so little satisfactory in art.”
    —Margaret Oliphant (1828–1897)

    “On such a night, when Air has loosed
    Its guardian grasp on blood and brain,
    Old terrors then of god or ghost
    Creep from their caves to life again;”
