To the Hope
Green rapture of human life,
crazy hope, golden frenzy,
intricate unsleeping dream,
like dreams of vain treasure.
Soul of the world, demented lushness,
decrepit imaginary greenery,
the today of joyful expectations
and the unfortunate tomorrows.
Follow your shadow in search of your day,
those who with green glasses for cravings
see everything painted to their desire.
More cautious of my fortune,
I have both eyes, both hands,
and only see what I can touch.
A translation of "A la Esperanza" by Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz (1648-1695)
