Rescate

A Octavio Paz



Y es siempre el jardín de lilas del otro lado del río. Si el alma pregunta si queda lejos se le responderá: del otro lado del río, no éste sino aquél.



Alejandra Pizarnik.

Niño

Niño, tus cuatro letras de ternura
viven en mí.

Niño, seguramente naces cuando
el mar dice que sí.

Niño, te digo, voy por las orillas
de un alegre violín.

Llevo tus cuatro letras de ternura.
Viven en mí.

Juan Gelman, poema extraído del libro "Violín y otras cuestiones".

LVII

amarte es esto:
una palabra que está por decir/
un arbolito sin hojas
que da sombra/

Juan Gelman, poema extraído del libro "Dibaxu" 

And death shall have no dominion

And death shall have no dominion.
Dead man naked they shall be one
With the man in the wind and the west moon;
When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone,
They shall have stars at elbow and foot;
Though they go mad they shall be sane,
Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again;
Though lovers be lost love shall not;
And death shall have no dominion.

And death shall have no dominion.
Under the windings of the sea
They lying long shall not die windily;
Twisting on racks when sinews give way,
Strapped to a wheel, yet they shall not break;
Faith in their hands shall snap in two,
And the unicorn evils run them through;
Split all ends up they shan't crack;
And death shall have no dominion.

And death shall have no dominion.
No more may gulls cry at their ears
Or waves break loud on the seashores;
Where blew a flower may a flower no more
Lift its head to the blows of the rain;
Though they be mad and dead as nails,
Heads of the characters hammer through daisies;
Break in the sun till the sun breaks down,
And death shall have no dominion.
Dylan Thomas
