PERSEUS.
You shall not be less sweet that you are wise,
And not less beautiful that you are strong.
ANDROMEDA.
I shall not see the scorn leap in your eyes?
Your wisdom will not do my weakness wrong?
PERSEUS.
To the freed soul of woman I make my vow!
Hand in hand we will walk in the sunrise now,
No more implacable foes, but face to face,
As masters of the world, and it shall be
Under an equal law, with equal grace—
A world where life is proud and sane and free.
ANDROMEDA.
Life must be borne. Together let us bear it!
There is no other answer to the vexed,
Sad problem of the world.
PERSEUS.
Together, free of spirit,
Of body free, one minded, equal sexed.
