You shall never use beauty as a pretext for luxury and vanity but as a spiritual devotion... --- No te sera pretexto para la lujuria ni para la vanidad, sino ejercicio divino...

Scarcely or...

Sometimes an effulgence rises,
made of nothing, from the ground.
Suddenly, hiddenly,
a cedar sighs its scent.

We who are a secret's
tenuous dissolution,
our soul no sooner yields
than dream wells over.

What a poor thing the wandering
reason, when in the still,
sunlight seems to fall
upon me from your memory !
