“O woman, you are not merely the handiwork of God, but also of men; these are ever endowing you with beauty from their hearts. Poets are weaving for you a web with threads of golden imagery; painters are giving your form ever new immortality.

You are one half woman and one half dream.”
― Rabindranath Tagore, The Gardener
