Weakness may never bear the stamp of power,-it breaks in the moulding; and it is rather because woman is so strong that she is able to take the caesarean stamp of any form of power.
"The Romance of Zion Chapel [3d ed.]"
Richard Le Gallienne
There used to be an operation, in the old days, called a caesarean section-used on normal women and on dwarfs and midgets too, in childbirth.
"This Crowded Earth"
Robert Bloch
She who had her Jeanne; The child of her industrious; Earth's truest, earth's pure fount from the main; And she who had her one day's mate, In the soul's view illustrious Past blazonry, her Immaculate, Those hours of slavish Empire would recall; Thrill to the rattling anchor-chain She heard upon a day in 'I who can'; Start to the softened, tremulous bugle-blare Of that caesarean Italian Across the storied fields of trampled grain, As to a Vercingetorix of old Gaul Blowing the rally against a Caesar's reign.
