    “There’s so much saint in the worst of them,
    And so much devil in the best of them,
    That a woman who’s married to one of them,
    Has nothing to learn of the rest of them.”
    —Helen Rowland (1875–1950)

    “Leave your theory, as Joseph his coat in the hand of the harlot, and flee.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The river’s tent is broken; the last fingers of leaf
    Clutch and sink into the wet bank. The wind
    Crosses the brown land, unheard. The nymphs are departed.
    Sweet Thames, run softly, till I end my song.
    The river bears no empty bottles, sandwich papers,
    Silk handkerchiefs, cardboard boxes, cigarette ends
    Or other testimony of summer nights.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
