“There are things in that [wall]paper that nobody knows but me, or ever will. Behind that outside pattern the dim shapes get clearer every day. It is always the same shape, only very numerous. And it is like a woman stooping down and creeping about behind that pattern.”

—Charlotte Perkins Gilman,
“The Yellow Wallpaper,” 1892
