The Dream Below The Sun: Selected Poems Of Antonio Machado QUOTES

1 " And will that spellbound world die with you”

And will that spellbound world die with you
where memory holds
those breaths, the purest in your life,
the white shadow of your first love,

the voice that went to your heart, the hand
you wanted to hold in dream,
and every love
that touched your soul, the profound sky?

Is your world to die with you,
the old life for some new order?
The anvils and crucibles of your soul,
do they labor only for dust and the wind? "
