“The indictment had never been clearly expressed,

And had spoken three hours, before any one guessed
What the pig was supposed to have done.”

“How then can we account for the persistence of the myth that inside the empty nest lives a shattered and depressed shell of a woman—a woman in constant pain because her children no longer live under her roof? Is it possible that a notion so pervasive is, in fact, just a myth?”
