    “The theory [before the twentieth century] ... was that all the jobs in the world belonged by right to men, and that only men were by nature entitled to wages. If a woman earned money, outside domestic service, it was because some misfortune had deprived her of masculine protection.”
    —Rheta Childe Dorr (1866–1948)

    “Away went the messenger’s bicycle,
    His serpent’s track went up the hill forever.
    And all the time she stood there hot as fever
    And cold as any icicle.”
    —John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)

    “But the beggar gazes on calamity
    And thereafter he belongs to it, to bread
    Hard found, and water tasting of misery.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
