Autumnal (part)

by Rubén Darío (1867-1916)

translated by Thomas Walsh and Salomón de la Selva

In the pale afternoon the clouds go by

Aimlessly roving in the quiet sky.



His head between his hands, the dreamer weaves

His dream of clouds and Autumn-colored leaves.



Ah, his intimate sorrow, his long sighs,

And the glad radiance that has dimmed his eyes!



And all the tender glances, the blond tresses,

The rose hands over-brimming with caresses,



The sudden faces smiling everywhere

In the gold-dusted curtains of the air!

In the pale afternoon

A friendly faerie maiden comes to me



And tells me tales of many a secret thing

Fraught with the spell and music of the moon,



And I have learned what wonder the birds sing,

And what the breezes bring over the sea,



All that lies hidden in the mist or gleams,

A floating presence, in a young girl’s dreams.

A gentle reminder of how we do things: 🐱🐶🐦

Do not troll the diary. If you hate pootie diaries, leave now. No harm, no foul.

Please do share pics of your fur kids! If you have health/behavior issues with your pets, feel free to bring it to the community.

Pooties are cats; Woozles are dogs. Birds... are birds! Peeps are people.

Whatever happens in the outer blog STAYS in the outer blog. If you’re having “issues” with another Kossack, keep it “out there.” This is a place to relax and play; please treat it accordingly.
