In childbirth grief begins.

"

Not too little, not too much: there safety lies.

Who can stop grief's avalanche once it starts to roll.

Of all creatures that can feel and think,we women are the worst treated things alive

Old loves are dropped when new ones come

"

Mortal fate is hard. You'd best get used to it.

I'd three times sooner go to war than suffer childbirth once.
