And Education’s more than Nature’s fools;

Debarred from all improvements of the mind,

And to be dull expected and designed;

And if someone would soar above the rest,

With warmer fancy, and ambition pressed,

So strong the opposing faction still appears,

The hopes to thrive can ne’er outweigh the fears.^[15]

Claramente, su mente dista de «haber consumido todos los obstáculos y haberse vuelto incandescente». Al contrario, toda clase de odios y motivos de queja la hostigan y la perturban. Ve a la especie humana dividida en dos bandos. Los hombres son la «facción de la oposición»; odia a los hombres y les teme porque tienen el poder de impedirle hacer lo que quiere, que es escribir.

Alas! a woman that attempts the pen,

Such a presumptuous creature is esteemed,

The fault can by no virtue be redeemed.

They tell us we mistake our sex and way;

Good breeding, fashion, dancing, dressing, play,

Are the accomplishments we should desire;

To write, or read, or think, or to inquire,

Would cloud our beauty, and exhaust our time,

And interrupt the conquests of our prime,

Whilst the dull manage of a servile house

Is held by some our utmost art and use.^[16]
