Rima LXXVII
Dices que tienes corazon
Dices que tienes corazon,y solo lo dices porque sientes sus latidos. Eso no es corazn..; es una mquina, que, al comps que se mueve,hace ruido.
Gustavo Adolfo Bcquer

Individual Poem: Michael.


Rima IX
Besa el aura que gime blandamente las leves ondas que jugando riza; el sol besa la nube en occidente y de prpura y oro la matiza; la llama en derredor del tronco ardiente por besar a otra llama se desliza; y hasta el sauce, inclinndose a su peso al ro que le besa, vuelve un beso.

-Gustavo Adolfo Bcquer.

Individual Poem: Luis.


Rima XXXIII
En cuestin de palabras y,

no obstante,ni tu ni yo jams,
despues de lo pasado ,convendremos en quien la culpa esta.

Lastima que el Amor un diccionario


no tenga donde hallar cuando el orgullo es simplemente

orgullo y cuando es dignidad!

Individual Poem: Zuleida


Rima XI
Yo soy ardiente , yo soy morena, yo soy el smbolo de la pasin; de ansia de goces mi alma est llena. - A mi me buscas ? -No es a ti; no. Mi frente es plida; mis trenzas de oro: puedo brindarte dichas sin fin; yo de ternura guardo un tesoro. Yo soy un sueo, un imposible, vano fantasma de la niebla y luz; soy incorprea, soy intangible; no puedo amarte. -Oh, ven; ven tu.

-A mi me llamas ? -No; no es a ti.

William Wordsworth

The World is too Much with Us by William Wordsworth


And are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers, The world is too much with us; late and soon, For this, for everything, we are out of tune; It moves us not. Great God! I'd rather be A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn; So might I, standing on this pleasant lea, Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn; Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea; Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn.

Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers;


Little we see in Nature that is ours; We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon! This Sea that bares her bosom to the moon, The winds that will be howling at all hours,

Key Words
Sordid =disgusting= Asqueroso. Bares= Naked=Desnudas. Bone=Blessing=Bendicion. Suckled=Amamantar.

outworn= Out of date= fuera de fecha. wreathed= Surround it= Rodeado
