In reply to Sworn to meet beauty as a foe... » Dinah, posted by Racer on September 7, 2006, at 15:37:04
Oh, I'm glad you remembered that quote. Here it is in context:
"The Homebody -- Dorothy Parker
There are still kindly things for me to know,
Who am afraid to dream, afraid to feel --
This chair of scrubbed and dirty deal,
This easy book, this fire, sedate and slow
And I shall stay with them, nor cry the woe
Of wounds across my breast that do not heal;
Nor wish that Beauty drew a duller steel,
Since I am sworn to meet her as a foe."
