Lovely Sayings To A Lady Of His Will - The Maria Of The People, His Future Wife. Poem by Andre Paoliello

Lovely Sayings To A Lady Of His Will - The Maria Of The People, His Future Wife.



(...)
Enjoy, enjoy the blossom of youth,
for time trots, quick as light,
and stamps in every flower its footprint.

O do not await for the elder age
to convert that bloom, that beauty,
to soil, to ash, to powder, to shadow, to nothing!
