Rebecca West Quotes
One Was Kind, Out Of A Bounty That Could Hardly Be Exhausted, To Old Governesses And Gardeners, Who Could Be Relied Upon To Give Thanks With Proper Abjection; One Performed Public Duties, For Which One Was Paid In Full By Deference; One Was Chaste, Refusing To Run Away From One's Husband With Other Men Who For The Most Part Did Not Ask One To Do So, And Who In Any Case Had Nothing Better To Offer Than One's Own Home. Knowing No Difficulties One Was Without Fortitude; Knowing No Criteria But One's Own Achievements One Was Without Taste.
