    “The history of men’s opposition to women’s emancipation is more interesting perhaps than the story of that emancipation itself.”

    “A poet’s object is not to tell what actually happened but what could or would happen either probably or inevitably.... For this reason poetry is something more scientific and serious than history, because poetry tends to give general truths while history gives particular facts.”
