maeve_rigan, I'm honoring Chaucer's death-day by quoting from Troilus and Criseyde:
"I am myne owene woman, wel at ese."
It makes me think of my cousin who died yesterday, a full colonel in the army and a full professor at the local U. She never married, but had a rich life full of friends, travel, work, and honors. I wonder if I'd have been as adventurous if I hadn't known her when I was growing up. I have a wonderful picture of her and two friends from the Army Nurse Corps, getting ready to hop a plane for Brazil. No Emily Dickinson regrets for her!
