I already began to inspire the men with love. My breast began to take its right form, and such a breast! white, firm, and formed like that of the Venus de' Medici; my eyebrows were as black as jet, and as for my eyes, they darted flames and eclipsed the luster of the stars, as I was told by the poets of our part of the world.
Formábase mi pecho; pero ¡qué pecho! blanco, duro, de la forma del de la ve nus de Medicis; ¡y qué ojos! ¡qué pestañas! ¡qué negras cejas! ¡qué llamas salian de las niñas de mis ojos, que eclipsaban el resplandor de los astros, segun decian los poetas de mi barrio!
