Unbalanced Vision

Was flipping through a book today about Milton and authorship, and accidentally came across Donne's view on 'change'. The Renaissance treated 'change' as cruelty, but Donne valued it, and he gave this cute remark on women:

"the Heavens themselves continually turne, the Starres move, the Moone changeth; Fire whirleth, Aire flyeth, Water ebbs and flowes", so too women "have a motion of their owne" and "cannot be immutable like stockes, like stones," who submit to "the mastery of some over-ruling churlish husbands".

Viva, John Donne. Advanced pro-female thinker equal to our days.
