How many do you know? How many do you “love”?
“…We know we can never be anything but parallel
And proximate in our relations, but we are linked up
Anyway in the sun’s equation, the house from which
It steals forth on occasion, pretending, isn’t
It funny, to pass unnoticed, until the deeply shelving
Darker pastures project their own reflection
And are caught in history,
Transfixed, like caves against the sky
Or rotting spars sketched in phosphorous, for what we did.”
-John Ashbery, from The Sun-
"que de sang caillé sur mon chemin griffé de lumière, l'or défunt des réverbères"
A [mind] that hath the power of motion within itself, and which stands in need of no foreign assistance. --John Quincy

I suspect there’ll be hell to pay in your house if you don’t add more women. Perhaps Charlotte Bronte?
commend away! Many of these hero(in)es never seemed particularly gendered to me anyway – is human writing and thought necessarily gender-specific or only the context from which it arises?
All great things are gender-free
I scored terribly. I blame how many French people were on the list.
