    Robert Fanney
    “A song she heard
    Of cold that gathers
    Like winter's tongue
    Among the shadows
    It rose like blackness
    In the sky
    That on volcano's
    Vomit rise
    A Stone of ruin
    From burn to chill
    Like black moonrise
    Her voice fell still...”

    “Woman is the most superstitious animal beneath the moon. When a woman has a premonition that Tuesday will be a disaster, to which a man pays no heed, he will very likely lose his fortune then. This is not meant to be an occult or mystic remark. The female body is a vessel, and the universe drops its secrets into her far more quickly than it communicates them to the male.”
