It was a day in late August; the clouds hung low; it had rained, but towards evening a wind rose, and the sunset was fine.

“Un periodo difficile aiuta a comprendere meglio quanto infinitamente ricca e bella sia la vita in ogni suo aspetto, e come molto di ciò di cui noi ci preoccupiamo non abbia la benchè minima importanza.”

“As we walked in the wood today I thought that now I have got back my sight, and my sense of smell, from when I was a little girl. All things here tell me, of their own, what they signify.” She stopped, her gaze steadying.

Ahora que ya remonto la mitad del camino de mi vida,
yo que siempre me apené de las gentes mayores,
yo, que soy eterna pues he muerto cien veces, de tedio, de agonía,
y que alargo mis brazos al sol en las mañanas y me arrullo
en las noches y me canto canciones para espantar el miedo,
¿qué haré con esta sombra que comienza a vestirme
y a despojarme sin remordimientos?
Ahora que ya no soy más joven
- Piedad Bonnett
