This has been made a terrifying prospect and has been made to constitute a major threat to masculine identity.”

For the tireless heart within the little
Lady with rod that made them rise
From their noon apple-dreams, and scuttle
Goose-fashion under the skies!”

Narrowing the mustard scansions of the eyes,”
