Consider it thrown down.

"My one great talent lies in making those who wrong me suffer horribly."
- Archilochus, 7th century BC

By the time you swear you’re his,
Shivering and sighing,
And he vows his passion is
Infinite, undying -
Lady, make a note of this:
One of you is lying.
— Dorothy Parker (via sarahb) (via keepinganotebook)
