solaseaLos Varios Efectos Del Amor
-Félix Lope de Vega y Carpio (1562-1635)
Desmayarse, atreverse, estar furioso,
áspero, tierno, liberal, esquivo,
alentado, mortal, difunto, vivo,
leal, traidor, cobarde y animoso,
no hallar fuera del bien centro y reposo,
mostrarse alegre, triste, humilde, altivo,
enojado, valiente, fugitivo,
satisfecho, ofendido, receloso,
huir el rostro al claro desengaño,
beber veneno por licor suave,
olvidar el provecho, amar el daño,
creer que un cielo en un infierno cabe,
dar la vida y el alma a un desengaño:
esto es amor; quien lo probó lo sabe.
translation:
Various Effects of Love
To swoon, daring to be bold, furious
gruff, tender, aloof, generous,
cheerful, depressed, lifeless, vigorous,
loyal, treacherous, cowardly, courageous,
never to find inner peace and calm
away from the beloved,
to seem pleased, sad, humble, arrogant,
angry, brave, fleeing, happy, hurt, suspicious,
to turn thy face from the plain truth,
to drink poison for smooth nectar,
to forget one’s health, to want what hurts
to believe that paradise is possible in hell,
to trade your body and soul for hidden truth.
All this is love; whoever tasted it, knows.1 month ago
