  1. Poetry - Tennyson • There has fallen a splendid tear From the passion-flower at the gate She is coming, my dove, my dear; She is coming, my life, my fate; The red rose cries, ‘She is near, she is near’: And the white rose weeps, ‘she is late’; The larkspur listens, 'I hear, I hear’; And the lily whispers, ‘I wait.’

Mussolini despises them” • “the best woman was intellectually the inferior to the worst man.” Oscar Browning • “The essentails of a woman’s being…are that they are supported by, and they minister to, men.” Mr Greg • “said that a woman acting put him in mind of a dog dancing(nick Green)…Johnson repeated the phrase two hundred years later • “wife beating…was recognised as the right of man, and was practised without shame…marriage was not an affair of personal affection, but of family avarice…” (1470) • “it was still the exception..for women to choose their own husbands” (2 hundred years later)

  6. Years later of women and preaching “ and in 1928” a woman composing is like a dog walking on his hind legs. It is done well, but you are surprised to find it done at all.”

  7. Truth • “One must strain off what was personal and accidental in all these impressions and reach the pure fluid, the essential oil of truth” (29) • “where…is truth?”(30) • “..seekers for the essential oil of truth” (32) • “The had been written in the red light of emotion not the white light of truth.” • “fiction is like a spider’s web, attached ever so lightly perhaps, but still attached to life at all four corners.” • “One knows nothing detailed, nothing perfectly true and substantial about her. History scarcely mentions her.” (51)
