From Ulug Beg by Leonard Bacon (“Autolycus”):

Women know too much. Out of their wombs we come
From nowhere in particular, and go —
Whither? — The best authorities are dumb
Upon this question since they do not know,
Though there are various theories venturesome.
See Palladini, Oliver Lodge and Co.
But whether death await us or survival,
Women have lots to do with our arrival.
