More quotes by Anna Wickham

Anna Wickham
Desire and longing are the whips of God.
Anna Wickham
It is well within the order of things That man should listen when his mate sings But the true male never yet walked Who liked to listen when his mate talked.
Anna Wickham
Kinder the enemy who must malign us Than the smug friend who will define us
