- Pathedy of Manners - Ellen Kay
At twenty she was brilliant and adored,
Phi Beta Kappa, sought for every dance;
Captured symbolic logic and the glance
Of men whose interest was their sole reward.
- Back home her breeding led her to espouse
A bright young man whose pearl cufflinks were real.
- But afraid to wonder what she might have known
With all that wealth and mind had offered her,
She shuns conviction, choosing to infer
Tenets of every mind except her own.
