Treintaitrés

Pesan tan poco las piedras,

tanto los pétalos de las flores.

Quédate el amor que como a nadie

le fue dado,

tan grande para un ser formado

en la ausencia

en el hambre

en la sed.



Ya ha empezado a llover.

Ya han empezado a llorar.



El sueño es un hondo y largo río.



"Dearest,

I feel certain I am going mad again. I feel we can’t go through another of those terrible times. And I shan’t recover this time. [...] You have given me the greatest possible happiness. You have been in every way all that anyone could be. I don’t think two people could have been happier till this terrible disease came. I can’t fight any longer. I know that I am spoiling your life, that without me you could work. And you will I know. You see I can’t even write this properly. I can’t read. What I want to say is I owe all the happiness of my life to you. You have been entirely patient with me and incredibly good. I want to say that – everybody knows it. If anybody could have saved me it would have been you. Everything has gone from me but the certainty of your goodness. I can’t go on spoiling your life any longer.

I don’t think two people could have been happier than we have been."
