A man marries to have a home, but also because he doesn't want to be bothered with sex and all that sort of thing.-- W. Somerset Maugham –
On this day in 1874, William Somerset Maugham was born in Paris at the British Embassy.
In the 1930’s, he was the highest paid author in the world. Although he published no poetry of his own, he held the art of poetry in high esteem, saying “The writer of prose can only step aside when the poet passes.”
Have a great Wednesday!
Gee, well that's an encouraging outlook for a single woman!
