    “Cannibalism to a certain moderate extent is practised among several of the primitive tribes in the Pacific, but it is upon the bodies of slain enemies alone; and horrible and fearful as the custom is, immeasurably as it is to be abhorred and condemned, still I assert that those who indulge in it are in other respects humane and virtuous.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “Bite down
    on the bitter stem of your nectared
    rose, you know
    the dreamy stench of death and fling
    magenta shawls delicately
    about your brown shoulders laughing.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    “Women have no wilderness in them,
    They are provident instead,
    Content in the tight hot cell of their hearts
    To eat dusty bread.”
    —Louise Bogan (1897–1970)
