Always the way! " muttered the Jew to himself as he turned homewards. "The worst of these women is, that a very little thing serves to call up some long-forgotten feeling; and the best of them is, that it never lasts. Ha! ha!

About This Quote

The way of women is a complex topic, and can vary from person to person. Some women are naturally understanding and forgiving, while others are always seeking revenge. The way of women has been the subject of innumerable books and songs over the centuries. One of the most famous of these is “Always the way!” written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in 1866. In this piece, Longfellow describes a woman who is in love with an unfaithful man and who has been trying for so long to get his attention that she has forgotten what she wanted when she first began her pursuit.
