“I always search for her; I always remember her. I carry the hope that someday she will remember me.”

“Rumors spread fast, and they grow. I know. You want to either deny them, or disarm them”

“I began to see why woman-haters could make such fools of women. Woman-haters were like gods: invulnerable and chock-full of power. They descended, and then they disappeared. You could never catch one.”

The remembering heart carries it round again
Till it beats in the throat, the lips, the weeping eye
And is born at last in a blazing wordless outcry.”
