Ah, the W...Mario Quintana in English<br /> Ah, the Watches! (Ah, os Relógios!)<br /><br /> Friends, to consult your watches will be useless <br /> when, someday, I am gone from your lives<br /> so lost in facing futile problems to survive <br /> they seem to be obituaries in progress.<br /><br /> For time is an invention of death;<br /> it is unknown to life, true life, that is,<br /> when a single moment of poetry<br /> is enough to give us all of eternity.<br /> <br /> All of it, yes, for division is one thing<br /> eternal life will not admit, <br /> so no one can claim a mere piece of it. <br /><br /> And the Angels trade looks of surprise <br /> whenever someone —now conscious, <br /> back in the afterlife— happens to ask:<br /> “What time is it?”… <br /> <br /> (translated by John D. Godinho)<br /> Ah, the Watches! in The Color of the InvisibleJohn D. Godinhohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14611877165005737201noreply@blogger.com
