• Del cielo caigo, aunque de la tierra empiezo.
  Ninguna dama viva puede mostrar semejante piel.
  Soy brillante como un ángel, y ligera como una pluma,
  Pero pesada y oscura, cuando me aprietas.
  Aunque candor y verdad en mi aspecto llevo,
  pero ayudo a engañar a muchas pobres criaturas.
  Aunque mucho del Cielo aparece en mi apariencia,
  Las impresiones más sucias las tomo fácilmente.
  Mi padre y yo nos producimos mutuamente,
  La madre a la hija, la hija a la madre.

  James Parton

  Daughter, Mother, Fall
