Man and Woman.

Man is the highest of creatures;
The woman is the most sublime of ideals.
Man is the brain;
The woman is the heart.
The brain produces light;
The heart, LOVE.
Light fruitful love revives.
The man is strong by reason;
The woman is invincible tears.
The reason convinces the tears move.
Man is capable of all heroism;
The woman, all martyrdoms.
The ennobling heroism, martyrdom sublime.
The man is a code;
The woman is a gospel.
The code corrects, the gospel perfects.
The man is a temple, the woman is the tabernacle.
Before the temple we discover ourselves;
Kneel before the tabernacle.
The man thinks, a woman dreams.
To think is to have the skull, a larva;
To dream is to have the forehead, a halo.
Man is an ocean; the woman is a lake.
The ocean has the adorning pearl;
The lake, dazzling poetry.
Man is the eagle that flies;
The woman is the nightingale singing.
Flying is dominating the space;
To sing is to conquer the soul.
Finally, man is placed where the land ends;
The woman, where c is the start
