The Watersong Ends

Posted by Hoshisato (Ealing, United Kingdom) on 24 October 2008 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

Es la hora, amor mío, de apartar esta rosa sombría,
cerrar las estrellas, enterrar la ceniza en la tierra:
y, en la insurrección de la luz, despertar con los que despertaron
o seguir en el sueño alcanzando la otra orilla del mar que no tiene otra orilla.

Part of La Barcarola Termina, Pablo Neruda, 1967

It is time, love, to break off that sombre rose,
shut up the stars and bury the ash in the earth;
and, in the rising of the light, wake with those who awoke
or go on in the dream, reaching the other shore of the sea which has no other shore.
