Camille Claudel | The Mature Age, 1913 (detail) | Claudel room at the Musée Rodin in Paris

Sorridi donna

sorridi sempre alla vita

anche se lei non ti sorride

Sorridi agli amori finiti

sorridi ai tuoi dolori

Alda Merini /Anne-Christine Roda | A tutte le donne!

Fragile, opulenta donna, matrice del paradiso

sei un granello di colpa

anche agli occhi di Dio

malgrado le tue sante guerre

per l'emancipazione.
