"La mano que mece la cuna es la mano que domina el mundo"
Aunque la frase se hizo famosa con la inquietante película protagonizada por Rebecca de Mornay en 1992, en realidad es obra del poeta norteamericano William R. Wallace.
Es una cita más compleja de lo que aprenta y repleta de interpretaciones... La vida misma.
Infancy's the tender fountain,
Power may with beauty flow,
Mother's first to guide the streamlets,
From them souls unresting grow--
Grow on for the good or evil,
Sunshine streamed or evil hurled;
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the world.
Power may with beauty flow,
Mother's first to guide the streamlets,
From them souls unresting grow--
Grow on for the good or evil,
Sunshine streamed or evil hurled;
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the world.
William Ross Wallace (1819–1881)
