Considering Two Spanish Poets - Written In Honor Of Ph's Extraordinary Tri-Lingual Poet Sandra Feldman

Rating: 5.0


'All of life is but a dream
And dreams are but dreams! '
'Life is a frenzy...
A shadow, a fiction, an illusion...'
« La vida es sueño
Y los sueños sueños son »
Writes Pedro Calderon.

Then can dreams be more
Real than that which we consider real?
And Amor... is that merely also a Dream,
That feeling that gives us breath of life?
Or is love like life itself—a River...
Which leads only to Death?
« Nuestras vidas son los ríos
Que van à dar en la mar que...
Es el morir... »
Writes Jorge Manrique.

Reading this poem is like being washed in the waves of the Siglo De Oro of Spanish Literature, it really felt that way to me and- you celebrate a wonderful person and poet (Sandra Feldman) I am just now (happily) beginning to read which is doubly wonderful! Thank You! Mary Angela Douglas

For many years I have remembered and recited the lines Nuestras vidas son los rios que van a dar a la mar, que es el morir. And also thought que la vida es sueno y los suenos, suenos son But never had I seen these 2 extraordinary favorite and great verses used so beautifully and so well in a poem in another language other than Spanish, in a Philosophycal poem where such deep thoughts blend so perfectly toghether, . In my view a Modern Gem, if not Pearl of superb dimensions. I am greatly honored and to use mytri to the poet I will say, Chapeau, Monsieur, Le Poet
