>Longfellow: The Spanish Student, Act 1 Sc III:
>
>152 The greatest of thy sex excels thee not!
>153 The world of the affections is thy world,
>154 Not that of man's ambition. In that stillness
>155 Which most becomes a woman, calm and holy,
>156 Thou sittest by the fireside of the heart,
>157 Feeding its flame. The element of fire
>158 Is pure. It cannot change nor hide its nature,
>159 But burns as brightly in a Gypsy camp
>160 As in a palace hall. Art thou convinced?
