    “There was a sound of revelry by night,
    And Belgium’s capital had gathered then
    Her beauty and her chivalry, and bright
    The lamps shone o’er fair women and brave men;
    A thousand hearts beat happily; and when
    Music arose with its voluptuous swell,
    Soft eyes looked love to eyes which spake again,
    And all went merry as a marriage-bell;
    But hush! hark! a deep sound strikes like a rising knell!”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “Let still the woman take
    An elder than herself. So wears she to him;
    So sways she level in her husband’s heart.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “I would rather be known as an advocate of equal suffrage than to speak every night on the best-paying platforms in the United States and ignore it.”
