Nazim Hikmet, "I love you"
I love you
the adventure of the ship that goes towards the pole
I love you
the audacity of the players of the great discoveries
I love distant things in you
I love the impossible in you
within your eyes like in a wood
full of sun
and sweating hungry, infuriated
I have the hunter's passion
to bite into your flesh.
I love the impossible in you
but not despair.
Gaius Valerius Catullus, "We live, my Lesbian, and we love"
We live, my Lesbia, and we love,
and every treacherous murmur of the old
the vile currency is worth for us.
The day can die and then rise again,
but when our short day dies,
an endless night we will sleep.
Give me a thousand kisses, and then a hundred,
then give me another thousand, and then a hundred,
so a thousand continuous, and therefore a hundred.
And when they will be a thousand and a thousand,
we will hide their true number,
that you do not throw the evil eye the envious one
for such a high number of kisses.
Charles Baudelaire, "Hymn to Beauty"
Come from the deep sky or get out of the abyss,
Beauty?
Your gaze, divine and infernal,
Your gaze, divine and infernal,
dispense in bulk relief and crime,
and in this you can be compared to wine.
Enclose the sunset and the aurora in your eye;
smell the air like a stormy evening;
your kisses are a filter and your mouth an amphora
that make the hero and the brave child vile.
Do you come out of the black chasm or descend from the
stars?
The enraged Destiny follows your skirt
like a dog; sow joy and disaster at random,
and governments everything and nothing responds.
Walk on the corpses, or Beauty, scoffing them,
of your jewels the Horror is not the least attractive,
Assassination, in the midst of your dearest pendants
on your proud belly dance lovingly.
Toward you, candle, the dazzled moth
crackles and burns saying:
Blessed the flame!
Blessed the flame!
The panting lover bent over the beloved
he looks like a dying man caressing the grave.
Whether you come from heaven or hell, what does it matter,
Beauty! Huge, scary, naive monster!
If your eyes, your smile, your foot open the door
of an Infinity that I love and have never known?
From Satan or from God, what does it matter? Angelo or
Sirena,
you make us - with velvet eyes,
rhythm, perfume, light, my only queen!
The less odious universe, the less heavy the minute?
