@CarolineHagood I once wrote about feminist utopias...there are a bunch but the best by far is Charlotte Perkins Gilman's HERLAND (and WITH HER IN OURLAND, which is kind of a sequel). Very sad that she's only known for the one much more dystopic short story.

@allegra_hyde Last line of Thomas Mann's The Magic Mountain. Quoting inadequately from memory, "...this ugly rutting fever that enflames the evening sky all around, will not love rise up one day out of this too?"
