A.S. Byatt
I wanted to be a Poet and a Poem.
A.S. Byatt, Possession

Existence as a society wife must be akin to standing in a bog. That slow, sinking sensation. I would be dragged down day by day, grow vacuous and preoccupied with frivolity like those around me. I should begin to resemble Papa or - God forbid - Mrs Pearce. At least with David I may strive to be a better person, practical and helpful to my fallen creatures.
Laura Purcell, The Corset
