    “And now on benches all are sat
    In the cool air to sit and chat,
    Till Phoebus, dipping in the West,
    Shall lead the world the way to rest.”
    —Charles Cotton (1630–1687)

    “The woman’s world ... is shown as a series of limited spaces, with the woman struggling to get free of them. The struggle is what the film is about; what is struggled against is the limited space itself. Consequently, to make its point, the film has to deny itself and suggest it was the struggle that was wrong, not the space.”
    —Jeanine Basinger (b. 1936)

    “One thing that literature would be greatly the better for
    Would be a more restricted employment by authors of simile and
    metaphor.”
    —Ogden Nash (1902–1971)
