“Ah well, towards happiness others will lead me
With their tresses knotted to the horns of my brow:
You know, my passion, that purple and just ripe,
The pomegranates burst and murmur with bees;
And our blood, aflame for her who will take it,
Flows for all the eternal swarm of desire.”

Let me kiss your fingers and their rings, and bid you

On your lava fields placing her candid feet,
When a sad stillness thunders wherein the flame dies.
I hold the queen!”
