Ambrose Bierce wrote in his "Epigrams of a Cynic": When God makes a beautiful woman, the devil opens a new register. I do think that there is something devil-ish in every woman but that, so to say, could be taken in the most positive sense possible. If well-measured, that makes a very good part of the feminine attractiveness and has always been luring for men.
However, if there is too much of a devil about a woman it may become dangerous.) Just as happened in the song of Marty Robbins “Devil Woman”. It’s curious that this 1962 single obtains a slightly different meaning when performed in other languages. Thus, the Spanish version by Chucho Avellanet is called “Magia blanca” (sp. ‘white magic’) and the Serbian interpretation goes as “Čudna devojka” (ser. ‘strange girl’). Strange, devilish or magic – the women are nevertheless amazing in all their aspects.
Today on the International Women’s Day I would like to wish all ladies of the planet to stay so charming. Please keep making men happy and do not lose the little devil in you. Merry Holiday!
O woman, perfect woman! what distraction
Was meant to mankind when thou wast made a devil!
