It was a sense of getting home; of being clean and rested; of safety and yet freedom; of love that was always there, warm like sunshine in May, not hot like a stove or a featherbed--a love that didn’t irritate and didn’t smother.
那是一种回到家的感觉:洁净、安歇,安全而又自由;爱始终在那里,温暖如五月的阳光,不像火炉或羽绒被那样燥热——那份爱不令人烦躁,也不令人窒息。
— Charlotte Perkins Gilman · Herland (1915) · Chapter 12 —
