"The purer the golden vessel, the more readily is it bent; the higher worth of woman is sooner lost than that of man."

One day through the primeval wood A calf walked home as good calves should; But made a trail all bent askew, A crooked trail as all calves do. . . . . And men two centuries and a half Trod in the footsteps of that calf.
