And you are one of those organisms, living your life in the thrall of a logical absurdity. — Robert Wright

And this is why I sojourn here, Alone and palely loitering, Though the sedge is wither’d from the lake, And no birds sing. — John Keats
I was unfair to him, of course, but where would I have been without unfairness? In thrall, in harness. Young women need unfairness, it's one of their few defenses.
