Oh love entertained in stars and doves,/how like a joyous spray you cross my soul!
¡Oh amor entretenido en astros y palomas,/cómo en rocío feliz cruzas mi alma!

More quotes by Julia de Burgos
From my invaded nation,/the battlefield today is independence.
Where does the laughter wander that decorated life/when your heart gathered my sadnesses?
You may also like
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
