“I don’t think the ladies in town accepted the fact that I worked. That was the point at which I said to myself, well, you’re always going to be out of step and you might as well face it.”

And other wives from me. But this young slave
For the Caliph? Well, only her thin mouth to save
My soul I can’t forget, nor her slack eyes:
The oasis of age is sand and lies.”
