poorly recognized by it; for it is man that
rules and reaps the harvest; the thousand night
watches and sacrifices by which a mother secures
the state a hero or a poet are forgotten, not
even mentioned, for the mother herself does not
mention them, and so one century after another
do the wives, unknown and unrewarded send forth
the arrows, the starts the storm-birds and the
nightingales of time.
