Is
this
pathetic
sacrifice
on
one
hand,
this sacrilege
on
the
other,
pleas
ing in the sight of heave
?
To
me,
the
tenderest
word
in
our
language,
the
most pathetic
fact
within
our
knowledge
is
maternity.
Around
this
sacred
word
cluster
the
joys
and
sorrows,
the
agonies
and
ecstasies,
of
the
human
race.
IThe
mother
walks
in
the
shadow
of death
that
she
may
give
another
life.
Upon the altar
ot
love she
puts
her
oan
life in
pawn.
When
the
world
is civilized, no
wife will become
a
mother
agains:
her will.
Man will know
