Two leaps the water from its race
Made to the brook below,
The first leap it was curving glass,
The second bounding snow.
“I will believe that the battle of feminism is over, and that the female has reached a position of equality with the male, when I hear that a country has allowed itself to be turned upside-down and led to the brink of war by its passion for a totally bald woman writer.”
