The Defence of the Bride is a collection of feminist poems by Anna Katharine Green about the loveliness of romance and the sweetness of intimacy. Excerpt: "Base enough to seek his vengeance at the sharp end of the dart? There is Sassard of the Mountains, answered she without guile, While I wedded at the chancel, he stood mocking in the aisle And my maidens say he swore there that for all my plighted vow, They would see me in his castle yet upon Morency's brow."
