Quote: She dreamed one night that she had written a poem so beautiful, so wise, so close to the ultimate truth of life that she was immediately acclaimed
by all the peoples on the earth as the greatest poet and philosopher of all the ages. Still half asleep as the dream ended, she stumbled out of bed and
scribbled the poem down, realizing that she must take no risk of forgetting such deathless lines. She awoke in the morning with the feeling that something
wonderful was about to happen — oh, yes! Her poem.
She clutched the precious paper and, tense with excitement, read the words she had written. Here they are:
Hogamus Higamus
Men are Polygamous
Higamus Hogamus
Women Monogamous
— Claire MacMurray, newspaper article, 1939
