"Puras eran y blancas las nubes, como ovejas trasquiladas, saliendo del arroyo. Dormían, dulces, en los bancales del azul; deslizábase un estremecimiento silencioso en las hojas, nacido del suspiro que exhalaba el silencio, pues no se hubiera visto ni un moverse menudo entre todas las sombras de la hierba, inclinadas."
MY heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains
My sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk,
Or emptied some dull opiate to the drains
One minute past, and Lethe-wards had sunk:
’Tis not through envy of thy happy lot,
But being too happy in thine happiness,-
That thou, light-winged Dryad of the trees,
In some melodious plot
Of beechen green, and shadows numberless,
Singest of summer in full-throated ease.
