É unha boa forma de comezar o ano, máis información en http://implicadas.blogspot.com/
Because I feel that, in the Heavens above,
The angels, whispering to one another,
Can find, among their burning terms of love,
None so devotional as that of "Mother,"
Therefore by that dear name I long have called you—
You who are more than mother unto me,
And fill my heart of hearts, where Death installed you,
In setting my Virginia's spirit free.
My mother—my own mother, who died early,
Was but the mother of myself; but you
Are mother to the one I loved so dearly,
And thus are dearer than the mother I knew
By that infinity with which my wife
Was dearer to my soul than its soul-life.
¿Qué va a quedar de mí cuando me hiera
esa daga final? Acaso mía
será la noche fúnebre y vacía
que vuelva a ser de pronto primavera.
No quedará el trabajo, ni la pena
de creer y de amar. El tiempo abierto,
semejante a los mares y al desierto,
ha de borrar de la confusa arena
todo lo que me salva o encadena.
Más si alguien vive yo estaré despierto.
