“Evil can be got very easily and exists in quantity: the road to her is very smooth, and she lives near by. But between us and virtue the gods have placed the sweat of our brows; the road to her is long and steep, and it is rough at first; but when a man has reached the top, then she is easy to attain, although before she was hard.”
—Hesiod (c. 8th century B.C.)

“When I have reached the shady underground
With but sad hope of coming up again,
I shall implore your ghost to hover round
And guide me to a land of lucky men....”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)

“Slim Woman,
all your ample parts
have become thin
and even the thin ones
have reached the limit
of thinness.
What’s the use of anger here?”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
