WOMAN CARRYING HER TORCH OF LIFE

 

My life as a woman, belongs to the whole community.

And as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it whatsoever I can.

I want to be thoroughly used up when I die.

For, the harder I work, the more I live.

I rejoice in life for its own sake.

Life is no "brief candle" to me.

It is a sort of splendid torch which I have for the moment.

I want to make it burn as brightly as possible

Before handing it on to future generations.
