Срцето им верува на очите, им верува дека тоа што го гледаат е убаво, вредно за сакање. О пусто срце! Колку може да биде измамено од тие неуморни и незаситени номади!”

I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,

The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.

Phenomenal woman,
That's me.”
