The power of a woman

A poem by F. Schiller translated by J.M. Rakotolahy

The power of a woman

 

Your are powerful through the presence of a magical calmness

Because what calmness cannot perform, perform never passion.

Strength I expect from the man, he affirms the dignity of laws

But through grace alone have prevailed and still prevail the woman.

 

Many of them have triumphed through the spirit of power and actions

But then, the highest jewel of the crown they have put into oblivion.

The true queen is only the feminine Beauty of the woman

Wherever it appears, it prevails; it prevails because it is a revelation.
