5 quotes

Duty, that grey ash of a burnt-out fire,
That lie between a woman and a man!

Ulysses (1902)

What is the love of men that women seek it?

Poems (1897)

We cannot choose; our faces madden men!

Paolo and Francesca (1900)

Alas! I am a woman utterly!

Ulysses (1902)

... when we women sin, 'tis not
By art; it is not easy, it is not light;
It is our agony shot through with bliss:
We sway and rock and suffer ere we fall.

Paolo and Francesca (1900)
