    Is love, that is the bow of Love.
    And love as well the foster can
    As can the mighty nobleman.

    Yet without love nought worth to me.”
    —Fulke Greville (1554–1628)

    “If it were worth while to argue a paradox, one might maintain that nature regards the female as the essential, the male as the superfluity of her world. Perhaps the best starting-point for study of the Virgin would be a practical acquaintance with bees, and especially with queen bees.”
