    Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

    When I received this [coronation] ring I solemnly bound myself in marriage to the realm; and it will be quite sufficient for the memorial of my name and for my glory, if, when I die, an inscription be engraved on a marble tomb, saying, “Here lieth Elizabeth, which reigned a virgin, and died a virgin.”
    Elizabeth I (1533–1603)

    this quilt might be
    the only perfect artifact a woman

    what we had forgotten, that out of her
    potatoes and colic, sawdust and blood
    she could create ...
    Marge Piercy (b. 1936)
