“من ناروا بسیار شنیده و
خود خاموش به سایه نشسته ام
من دردها بسیار دیده و
خود در خود خسته، شکسته ام
اما هرگز
به روی رویاهای خویش نیاورده ام
که بر من چه رفته،
چه می رود...”

“مهم نیست پل ها را
از کدام سویِ رودِ بزرگ بنا می کنند
ما به آب خواهیم زد
ما
از پرده هایِ تو در تویِ این تقدیرِ مزخرف
عبور خواهیم کرد”

ز غرور و ناز گفتی که مگر هنوز هستی”

“Then hate me when thou wilt; if ever, now;
Now, while the world is bent my deeds to cross,
Join with the spite of fortune, make me bow,
And do not drop in for an after-loss:
Ah! do not, when my heart hath ‘scaped this sorrow,
Come in the rearward of a conquered woe;
Give not a windy night a rainy morrow,
To linger out a purposed overthrow.
If thou wilt leave me, do not leave me last,
When other petty griefs have done their spite,
But in the onset come: so shall I taste
At first the very worst of fortune’s might;
And other strains of woe, which now seem woe,
Compared with loss of thee, will not seem so.”
