Will set you weeping; but a million sick—

You could as soon weep for the rule of three

Or compound fractions. Therefore, this same world,

Uncomprehended by you.—Women as you are,

Mere women, personal and passionate,

You give us doting mothers, and perfect wives,

Sublime Madonnas, and enduring saints!

We get no Christ from you,—and verily

We shall not get a poet, in my mind.
