Shining Night

Voldria perdre'm en eixe immens univers lluminós, lluny de la misèria humana, la d'esperit, que ens ofega amb les seues ombres... ni que fos sols per aquesta nit.


Sure on this shining night
Of star-made shadows round
Kindness must watch for me
This side the ground

The late year lies down the north,
All is healed, all is health
High summer holds the earth,
Hearts all whole

Sure on this shining night
I weep for wonder
Wandr’ing far alone
Of shadows on the stars.

James Agee (1909-1955) - “Description of Elysium”, from Permit Me Voyage, stanzas 6-8, 1934
