for a woman to be happy
it is necessary
for her to be independent
and self-sufficient.

To be happy
a woman has to feel
as if the furniture of her room
the walls and floors
the candle on her table
the sunlight on her window
the rain on the roof
the wind in the chimney
the pulse of the earth
the pressure of the divine
were in her head
and in her heart.

so sweet a morsel is found
in every woman in the world.
