Quotes
To be a woman and a writeris double mischief, for the world will slight herwho slights "the servile house," and who would rathermake odes than beds.
"Sonnet to a Sister in Error", l. 10. Collected Poems (1967) p. 318. Sonnet addressed to Anne, Countess of Winchilsea, with epigraph: "Whilst the dull manage of a servile house / Is held by some our utmost art and use."
