Robert Graves Quotes

Why Have Such Scores Of Lovely, Gifted Girls
Married Impossible Men?
Simple Self-sacrifice May Be Ruled Out,
And Missionary Endeavour, Nine Times Out Of Ten.
Repeat 'impossible Men': Not Merely Rustic,
Foul-tempered Or Depraved
(Dramatic Foils Chosen To Show The World
How Well Women Behave, And Always Have Behaved).
Impossible Men: Idle, Illiterate,
Self-pitying, Dirty, Sly,
For Whose Appearance Even In City Parks
Excuses Must Be Made To Casual Passers-by.
Has God's Supply Of Tolerable Husbands
Fallen, In Fact, So Low?
Or Do I Always Over-value Woman
At The Expense Of Man?
Do I?
It Might Be So.
