I’m bad and I’m going to hell, and I don’t care. I’d

rather be in hell than anywhere where you are.

Miss Quentin in The Sound and the Fury

(For graves have learned that woman-head,

To be to more than one a bed)

John Donne, ‘The Relic’

An’ de old woman gib her a ball of cotton, an’ tell

tell her to t’row it back of her, but not to look back,

whatever she hear.

Pamela Colman Smith, Annancy Stories
