He suddenly stood still; and, face to face,
We stood and stared into each other’s eyes,
And we each saw in one another’s eyes
A royal captive in a wretched cage.
IF I WERE GOD
If I were God—the first thing I would do
Would be to make all women beautiful.—
All women beautiful—and all men strong.
Then I’d resign—and make myself a man.
That’s just what I would do—if I were God.
