    The only son is dead.

    But the mother needs to be better,
    She with thin form presently drest in black,
    By day her meals untouch’d, then at night fitfully sleeping, often waking,
    In the midnight waking, weeping, longing with one deep longing,
    O that she might withdraw unnoticed, silent from life escape and
    withdraw,
    To follow, to seek, to be with her dear dead son.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    “It was said of old Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough, that she never puts dots over her i’s, to save ink.”
