"The lady of shalott" by John W. Waterhouse
"Who is this? And what is here?"

And in the lighted palace near

Died the sound of royal cheer;

And they crossed themselves for fear,

All the Knights at Camelot;

But Lancelot mused a little space

He said, "She has a lovely face;

God in his mercy lend her grace,

The Lady of Shalott."

- "The lady of Shalott" by Alfred Tennyson

“Women have minds and souls as well as just hearts, and they’ve got ambition and talent as well as just beauty. And I’m sick of people saying love is all a woman is fit for.”

- Little Women
There was intermittent danger from predators, parasites, and germs, but our ancestors would have become as accustomed to coping with those dangers as we are to crossing roads. Nature was not red in tooth and claw. Usually, it was really boring. Predators would have tended to kill the very young, the very ill, the very old, and the very foolish. Most illnesses would have been due to poor condition brought on by starvation or injury. Our ancestors did not spend all their time worrying about survival problems. They were among the longest-lived species on the planet, which implies that their daily risk of death was minuscule. Like most great apes, they probably spent their time worrying about social and sexual problems.
Our ancestors probably did not have to work more than twenty or thirty hours a week to gather enough food to live. They did not have weekends or paid vacation time, but they probably had much more leisure time than we do.

نَديمي النجمُ طولَ لَيلي
حتى إذا غَارَتِ النّجوم

أسلَمَني الصُّبحُ للبلايا
فلا حبيبٌ و لا نَديم

تلكَ سجايا مِن الليالي
للبؤس ما يخلق النعيم

- أبو فراس الحمداني
