“When I received this [coronation] ring I solemnly bound myself in marriage to the realm; and it will be quite sufficient for the memorial of my name and for my glory, if, when I die, an inscription be engraved on a marble tomb, saying, “Here lieth Elizabeth, which reigned a virgin, and died a virgin.””

irrelevant to people burning like last year’s weed
with bellies distended, with fish throats agape
and flesh melting down to glue.

That leaks through the ventilation system ...”
—Marge Piercy (b. 1936)
