Original text (Spanish)
Mother and poetess do not rhyme, but they go together rather well.
How the earth sings as it spins!/Sings the lightness of its flight,/its freedom, its grace, its joy.
All Rosario Castellanos quotes →
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
