Selected
y obliga a la tirana circunstancia a dejar su corona, y volverse sirvienta
Hablando de la voluntad, y de la circunstancia que en este contexto es las circunstancias, por ejemplo, del nacimiento. La poeta dice que la voluntad le quita la corona a la circunstancia tirana, y la vuelve en vez de tirana en sirvienta.
WILL.
Wilcox, Ella Wheeler)
1 You will be what you will to be;
2 Let failure find its false content
3 In that poor word "environment,"
4 But spirit scorns it, and is free.
5 It masters time, it conquers space,
6 It cowes that boastful trickster Chance,
7 And bids the tyrant Circumstance
8 Uncrown and fill a servant's place.
