What To Write On A Wedding Guest Book

Delmira Agustini-knot-

knot

Their idyll was a smile of four lips ...
In the warm lap of spring blonde tally
They loved such wise that his fingers trembled
the divine form of the Chimera.

In the glimmering palaces of quiet afternoons
spoke in a language sense as a cry,
And they kissed deeply, biting the soul ...
hours fluttered away like golden flowers,

Then Fate brought its two icy hands ...
Ah! yielded bodies, but souls are twisted
the most intricate knot that never was ...
In wrestling with his crazy tangles superhuman
The Furies of life is broken las manos
Y fatigó sus dedos supremos Ananké...


The knot

Their idyll was a smile of four lips...
In the warm lap of blond spring
They loved such that between their wise fingers
the divine form of Chimera trembled.

In the glimmering palaces of quiet afternoons
They spoke in a language heartfelt as weeping,
And they kissed each other deeply, biting the soul!
The hours fluttered away like petals of gold,

Then Fate interposed its two icy hands...
Ah! the bodies yielded, but tangled souls
Are the most intricate knot that never unfolds...
In strife with its mad superhuman Entanglements,
Life's Furies rent coupled Their hands
Powerful And wearied your fingers, Ananke ...
