Excerpt from The Green Bough
It is only when she comes to be observed in the immediate and narrow surroundings of her circum stance that her life stands out tragically apart. She becomes then as a monument, set up on a high and lonely hill amongst the many of those hills in drowsy Devon, a monument, silently claiming the birthright of all women which the laws men make by force have so ungenerously circumscribed.
