“Of Eva first, that for hir wikkednesse
Was al mankinde brought to wrecchednesse,
For which that Jesu Crist himself was slain
That boughte us with his herte blood again—
Lo, heer expres of wommen may ye finde
That womman was the los of al mankinde.”

—Joan Didion (b. 1935)
“Love, all alike, no season knows, nor clime,
Nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time.”
