- "Exact counterparts to male Greek love relationships are more frequently encountered in lesbian literature than in male homosexual literature, from the Victorian epoch to date. They are more clear-cut than the male versions because they stress relatively uncensured emotional ties rather than overt sexual expression. Tragic denouements in such fiction, when found at all, arise either when the older woman fears and rejects such attachments or when outsiders misunderstand them and forcibly break up the affairs, even as in actual case histories in both genders."
