I am the poet of the woman the same as the man, And I say it is as great to be a woman as to be a man, And I say there is nothing greater than the mother of a man.
I have learned that to be with those I like is enough.
Afoot and lighthearted I take to the open road, healthy, free, the world before me.
Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself, I am large, I contain multitudes.
Nothing can happen more beautiful than death.
The best writing has no lace on its sleeves.
