You have given me Your love, filling the world with Your gifts.
to tyrannize for the country is to tyrannize over the country
for we women are not only the deities of the household fire, but the flame of the soul itself.
No civilized society can thrive upon victims, whose humanity has been permanently mutilated.
Who are you, a hundred years from today, reading my poetry with curiosity?
Man's abiding happiness is not in getting anything but in giving himself up to what is greater than himself, to ideas which are larger than his individual life, the idea of his country, of humanity, of God.
