Even in the moment of our earliest kiss,
When sighed the straitened bud into the flower,
Sat the dry seed of most unwelcome this;
And that I knew, though not the day and hour.
Too season-wise am I, being country-bred,
To tilt at autumn or defy the frost:
Snuffing the chill even as my fathers did,
I say with them, "What's out tonight is lost."
I only hoped, with the mild hope of all
Who watch the leaf take shape upon the tree,
A fairer summer and a later fall
Than in these parts a man is apt to see,
And sunny clusters ripened for the wine:
I tell you this across the blackened vine.
                -- Edna St. Vincent Millay, "Even in the Moment of
                   Our Earliest Kiss", 1931

Even nowadays a man can't step up and kill a woman without feeling

                -- Robert Benchley

Even the best of friends cannot attend each other's funeral.
                -- Kehlog Albran

Even the best of friends cannot attend each other's funeral.
                -- Kehlog Albran, "The Profit"

Even though they raised the rate for first class mail in the United
States we really shouldn't complain -- it's still only 2 cents a day.
