Unveiling herself revealed

Unveiling herself revealed
existence to my eye,
so in everything seen
I perceived her.

My attribute is hers
since we are not called two;
her shape is mine
since we are one.

If she is called,
it is I who answers;
when I am summoned, she replies
and obeys the one who calls me.

If she speaks,
it is I who whispers;
when I tell a tale
she is the one who tells it.

For the second person's sign
became the first between us,
and so my rank is high above
all who cling to difference.
