Poetry Time
Surprisingly, I spend more time reading than I do fooling around on the computer. Right now I’m re-reading “Can You Forgive Her?” by Anthony Trollope, but I just came across a lovely poem that perfectly encapsulates the feeling of nostalgia…
My heart of silk
is filled with lights,
with lost bells
with lilies and bees.
I will go very far,
farther than those hills,
farther than the seas,
close to the stars,
to beg Christ the Lord
to give me back
the soul I had
when I was a child,
ripened with legends,
with a feathered cap
and a wooden sword.
- Federico García Lorca (poem originally in Spanish)
