Man is the most elevated of creatures,
Woman the most sublime of ideals.
God made for man a throne; for woman an altar.
The throne exalts, the altar sanctifies.
Man is the brain,
Woman the heart.
The brain creates light, the heart love.
Light engenders, love resurects.
Because of reason, Man is strong,
Because of tears, Woman is invincible.
Reason is convincing, tears moving.
Man is capable of all heroism,
Woman of all martyrdom.
Heroism ennobles, martyrdom sublimates.
Man has supremacy,
Woman preference.
Supremacy is the strenght, preference is the right.
Man is a genius,
Woman an angel.
Genius is immesurable, the angel indefinable.
The aspiration of a man is suprem glory,
The aspiration of a woman is extreme virtue.
Glory creates all that is great,
Virtue all that is divine.
Man is a code,
Woman a gospel.
A code corrects, the gospel perfects.
Man thinks, Woman dreams.
To think is to have a worm in the brain,
To dream is to have a halo on teh brow.
Man is an ocean, Woman a lake.
The ocean hat the adorning pearl,
The lake, dazzling poetry.
Man is the flying eagle,
Woman the singing nightingale.
To fly is to conquer space,
To sing is to conquer the soul.
Man is the temple,
Woman a shrine.
Before the temple we discover ourselves,
Before the shrine we kneel.
In short, Man is found when Earth finishes,
Woman where heaven begins.
