The Wanderess

“She was free in her wildness. She was a wanderess, a drop of free water. She belonged to no man and to no city.”

“In my errant life I roamed
To learn the secrets of women and men,
Of gods and dreams.
I've known all the countries of our world,
I've lived a thousand lives:
Many lives I lived in love,
Other lives I squandered.
For in my life I never traveled,
All I did was wander.”
