Jardín antiguo Matches base text
Language: Spanish (Español)
Ir de nuevo al jardín cerrado, que tras los arcos de la tapia, entre magnolios, limoneros guarda el encanto de las aguas. Oír de nuevo en el silencio vivo de trinos y de hojas, el susurro tibio del aire donde las almas viejas flotan. Ver otra vez el cielo hondo a lo lejos, la torre esbelta tal flor de luz sobre las palmas: las cosas todas siempre bellas. Sentir otra vez, como entonces, la espina aguda del deseo, mientras la juventud pasada vuelve. Sueño de un dios sin tiempo.
