In every infant’s cry of fear,
In every voice, in every ban,

Perfection of the life, or of the work
And if it take the second must refuse
A heavenly mansion, raging in the dark.

That beautiful mild woman for whose sake
There's many a one shall find out all heartache
On finding that her voice is sweet and low
Replied, 'To be born a woman is to know-
Although they do not talk of it at school -
That we must labor to be beautiful.
----William Butler Yeats
