Lope de Vega [1562-1635]
Various Effects of Love [Desmayarse, atreverse, estar furioso]
To be fainthearted, to be bold, possessed,
abrasive, tender, open, isolated,
spirited, dying, dead, invigorated,
loyal, treacherous, venturesome, repressed.
Not to find, without your lover, rest.
To seem happy, sad, haughty, understated,
emboldened, fugitive, exasperated,
satisfied, offended, doubt-obsessed.
To face away from disillusionment,
to swallow venom like liqueur, and quell
all thoughts of gain, embracing discontent;
to believe a heaven lies within a hell,
to give your soul to disillusionment;
that’s love, as all who’ve tasted know too well.
(Translated by David Rosenthal)
