“This world crisis came about without women having anything to do with it. If the women of the world had not been excluded from world affairs, things today might have been different.”

“Fill high the bowl with Samian wine!
Our virgins dance beneath the shade—
I see their glorious black eyes shine;
But gazing on each glowing maid,
My own the burning tear-drop laves,
To think such breasts must suckle slaves.”
