Arthur J. Munby (frontispiece to Munby's Vestigia Retrorsum, Poems).
... if there be a Womanhood indeed,
Which no defect of culture or of grace
Can maim or mar; if that spontaneous seed
Were found, sprung up in some unthought of place;
Then, he who finds it, well might give his life
To foster such a sweetheart, such a wife. — Munby (from "If Woman be a Child of Circumstance," prefacing Ann Morgan's Love)
