"Can you hold the door of your tent Wide to the firmament? Can you, with the simple stature Of a child, breathing nature, Become, notwithstanding, A man? Can you continue befriending With no prejudice, no ban? Can you, mating with heaven, Serve as the female part? Can your learned head take leaven From the wisdom of your heart? If you can bear issue and nourish its growing, If you can guide without claim or strife, If you can stay in the lead of men without their knowing, You are at the core of life."
