" "Maurice, weep not, I am not here under this pine tree.
The balmy air of spring whispers through the sweet grass,
The stars sparkle, the whippoorwill calls,
But thou grievest, while my soul lies rapturous
In the blest Nirvana of eternal light!
Go to the good heart that is my husband,
Who broods upon what he calls our guilty love–
Tell him that my love for you, no less than my love for him
Wrought out my destiny–that through the flesh
I won spirit, and through spirit, peace.
There is no marriage in heaven,
But there is love.
Edgar Lee Masters (23 August 1868 – 5 March 1950) was an American poet, biographer and dramatist. He is most famous for the Spoon River Anthology.

FALLAS, IL PROCURATORE DI STATO
Io, che brandivo il flagello, che spaccavo le bilance,
che percuotevo con fruste e spade;
io, che odiavo i contravventori della legge;
io, il legalista, inesorabile e amaro,
che spinsi i giurati a impiccare quel pazzo di Barry Holden,
divenni come uno ucciso da una luce troppo abbagliante,
e mi svegliai in faccia a una Verità dalla fronte sanguigna;
forcipi d'acciaio maneggiati malamente da un dottore
contro la testa del mio bimbo che nasceva
lo resero idiota.
Per curarlo e accudirlo
mi diedi a libri di scienza.
Ecco come il mondo di coloro che hanno mente malata
divenne il mio compito e tutto il mio mondo.
Povero ragazzo distrutto! Tu fosti, alla fine, il vasaio,
ed io, in tutti i miei atti di carità,
il vaso sotto le tue mani.
Go by reverently, and read with sober care
How a great people, riding with defiant shouts
The centaur of Revolution,
Spurred and whipped to frenzy,
Shook with terror, seeing the mist of the sea
Over the precipice they were nearing,
And fell from his back in precipitate awe
To celebrate the Feast of the Supreme Being.
