You Who Wronged

by Czeslaw Milosz

You who wronged a simple man Bursting into laughter at the crime, And kept a pack of fools around you To mix good and evil, to blur the line, Though everyone bowed down before you, Saying virtue and wisdom lit your way, Striking gold medals in your honor, Glad to have survived another day, Do not feel safe. The poet remembers. You can kill one, but another is born. The words are written down, the deed, the date. And you’d have done better with a winter dawn, A rope, and a branch bowed beneath your weight.

Alma desnuda

Por Alfonsina Storni

Soy un alma desnuda en estos versos,

Alma desnuda, que angustiada y sola,

Va dejando sus pétalos dispersos.

Alma que puede ser una amapola,

Que puede ser un lirio, una violeta,

Un peñasco, una selva y una ola.

Alma que como el viento vaga inquieta,

Y ruge cuando está sobre los mares,

Y duerme dulcemente en una grieta.

Alma que adora, sobre sus altares,

Dioses que no se bajan a cegarla;

Alma que no conoce valladares.

Alma que fuera fácil dominarla

Con sólo un corazón que se partiera

Para en su sangre cálida regarla

Alma que cuando está en la primavera

Dice al invierno que demora: vuelve,

Caiga tu nieve sobre la pradera.

Alma que cuando nieva, se disuelve

En tristezas, clamando por las rosas

Con que la primavera nos envuelve.

Alma, que a ratos, suelta mariposas

A campo abierto, sin fijar distancia,

Y les dice: libad sobre las cosas.

Alma que ha de morir de una fragancia,

De un suspiro, de un verso en que se ruega,

Sin perder, a poderlo, su elegancia.

Alma que nada sabe y todo niega.

Y negando lo bueno el bien propicia,

Porque es negando como más se entrega.

Alma que suele haber como delicia

Palpar las almas, despreciar la huella,

Y sentir en la mano una caricia.

Alma que siempre disconforme de ella,

Como los vientos vaga, corre y gira;

Alma que sangra y sin cesar delira

Por el oro precioso de una estrella.

“But Maria explained and painted their life cycle. Their metamorphosis from caterpillar to chrysalis to butterfly. She not only explained that process, she showed which plant species each butterfly species was dependent upon. This book revolutionised the study of insects in Europe. But it also helped Maria raise the funds to embark upon a journey to study the more exotic creatures that she knew she would find in the tropical regions of the Dutch empire.”
