Pavement slippery, people sneezing,
Lords in ermine, beggars freezing;
Titled gluttons dainties carving,
Genius in a garret starving. (January, 1795)
Mary Robinson quote In a society where the rights and potential of women are constrained, no man can be truly free. He may have power, but he will not have freedom.
