My Life Is a Memory
by Rafael Arévalo Martínez, translated from Spanish by William George William
When I met her I loved myself. It was she who had my best singing, she who set flame to my obscure youth, she who raised my eyes toward heaven. Her love moistened me, it was an essence. I folded my heart like a handkerchief and after I turned the key on my existence. And thus it perfumes my soul with a distant and subtle poetry.
Peace, dwight
