| | La muerte - Percy Bysshe Shelley | | 2008-06-21 22:55:00 | | INo hay sitio que la muerte silenciosano recorra veloz con pasos ciertos;nada su marcha detener consigue,y nosotros también estamos muertos.IIElla con mano fuerte ha colocadosu sello aterrador en nuestra frente;en todo lo que pasa por el mundoestá la marca sepulcral latente.IIICuando han muerto el placer y la esperanzaaléjase el temor del pecho herido;después que ya esa deuda se ha cumplidoel polvo llama al polvo y nos alcanzade la fosa el abrazo entumecido.IVTodo cuanto queremos en el mundolo mismo que nosotros desaparece;Ésa es la ley tirana que nos rige.¿No es cierto que el amor también perece?Percy Bysshe Shelley | | By: Letras e Ideas | | |
