但是没有灵活性的力量会使一个人难。 9月，当那些猛烈的风从大海吹来时，那些硬木破裂，破碎和跌倒。但是柔软的手掌具有弹性，它们会随风弯曲。这是一个南方妇女的秘密。力量，韧性和美丽。我们从不艰难。
(But strength without flexibility makes one hard. Come September, when those fierce winds blow in from the sea, those hardwoods crack, splinter and fall. But the pliant palms are resilient and they bend with the wind. This is the secret of a Southern woman. Strength, resilience and beauty. We are never hard.)
