| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from A Lover's Complaint by William Shakespeare: Love made them not; with acture they may be,
Where neither party is nor true nor kind:
They sought their shame that so their shame did find;
And so much less of shame in me remains,

ancient statement that the training and education of her offspring is
exclusively the duty of the mother, however true it may have been with
