Work hard at . . . something.
Better by far to be good and courageous and bold and to make difference. Not change the world exactly, but the bit around you
And you stupid, stupid woman, stupid for caring, stupid for thinking that he cared.
As new dawns go, this one is depressingly like the old dawn.
For some time now she has had the conviction that life is about to change if only because it must. . . .
She had reached a turning point. She no longer believed that a situation could be made better by writing a poem about it.
