for the wife he believed God chose for him. He made two daughters who
shone like mirrors in the direct sun; he blazed his path with a scythe

And history sufficiently informs us, that the bravest achievements were always accomplished in the non age of a nation. — Thomas Paine

worst thing. Fear would put her at the mercy of whatever misfortune

was why the bravest man could run among the deer with safety, so
long as fear was not smelled on his skin — Marion Zimmer Bradley
