Wisdom & Quotes

  • When all through the earth, and heaven rise dust storms,
How hard and rough, the road a woman walks.
Born to a race of heroes, you, my love,
Discard brush and ink for tools of war.
I saw you off and sorrowed - Oh
To be your horse on land,
Your host upon the stream.
- The Lament of the Warrior's Wife (Tale of Kieu)

Hendrick
