Arthur Schopenhauer
Philosopher of Pessimism
Admirer, like me,
Of Plato, India, Buddhism
Sympathizer to the suffering
Of non-human animals
(me also, hence my return
to vegetarianism)

He concluded
After surveying mostly
European and Asian history
That no woman
Ever created
A single enduring work of art

He always puts the Man first
