But a promise is a promise
And marriage is marriage,
And out of respect for my own character
I refused to be drawn into a divorce
By the scheme of a husband who had merely grown tired
Of his marital vow and duty.
(Mrs. Purkapile)
More Quotes from Edgar Lee Masters:

While washing the baby's things,
And died from lock-jaw, an ironical death.

And even love of wine,
Are the stimulants by which the soul, hungering for divinity,
Reaches the ecstatic vision
And sees the celestial outposts?

'His life was gentle, and the elements so mixed in him
That nature might stand up and say to all the world,
This was a man.

I, the teacher, the old maid, the virgin heart,
Who made them all my children.

Those who knew me smile
As they read this empty rhetoric.

Sex is... perfectly natural. It's something that's pleasurable. It's enjoyable and it enhances a relationship. So why don't we learn as much as we can about it and become comfortable with ourselves as sexual human beings because we are all sexual?
