" "

Sí, yo me muevo, vivo, me equivoco;
Agua que corre y se entremezcla, siento
El vértigo feroz del movimiento:
Huelo las selvas, tierra nueva toco.
Sí, yo me muevo, voy buscando acaso
Soles, auroras, tempestad y olvido.
¿Qué haces allí misérrimo y pulido?
Eres la piedra a cuyo lado paso.

Additional quotes by Alfonsina Storni

Occasionally my poetry is born
of the ideal.
Other times of the heart, and in a tempest
of distress.
Still others of a godlike thirst that begs
to speak.
But often, gentlemen, it’s authored by
my shallowness.
I am, like everything, a lowly mix
of the divine, the bestial.

Unas veces mis versos han nacido
Del ideal.
Otras del corazón y de la angustia
En tempestad.
Otras de algunas sed como divina
Que pide hablar.
Pero otras muchas, hombres, los ha escrito
Mi vanidad.
Soy, como todos, una pobre mezcla
De lo divino al fin y lo bestial.
