by Edith Irene Södergran (1892 - 1923)
Du store Eros
Language: Swedish (Svenska)
Du store Eros. Du andas bröllop. Men vad för bröllop? Sen jorden stått, och åtrå vigt två kroppar samman, har blixten icke nått till människopanna. Denna blixt slår, denna blixt är allsmäktig, blixten gör med människobarnen vad den vill.
