Song of one of the Girls

Here in my heart, I am Helen;
I'm Aspasia and Hero, at least.
I'm Judith, and Jael, and Madame de Staël;
I'm Salome, moon of the East.

Here in my soul I am Sappho;
Lady Hamilton am I, as well.
In me Récamier vies with Kitty O'Shea,
With Dido, and Eve, and poor Nell.

I'm all of the glamorous ladies
At whose beckoning history shook.
But you are a man, and see only my pan,
So I stay at home with a book.


-- Dorothy Parker (Decidi postá-lo porque é um dos meus poemas preferidos. Mais, foi escrito pela Dorothy Parker e menciona uma data de senhoras maravilhosas que admiro bastante.
