As I walked out one evening,\r\n Walking down Bristol Street,\r\nThe crowds upon the pavement\r\n Were fields of harvest wheat.\r\n\r\nAnd down by the brimming river\r\n I heard a lover sing\r\nUnder an arch of the railway:\r\n 'Love has no ending.\r\n\r\n'I'll love you, dear, I'll love you\r\n Till China and Africa meet,\r\nAnd the river jumps over the mountain\r\n And the salmon sing in the street,\r\n\r\n'I'll love you till the ocean\r\n Is folded and hung up to dry\r\nAnd the seven stars go squawking\r\n Like geese about the sky.\r\n\r\n'The years shall run like rabbits<\/span>,\r\n For in my arms I hold\r\nThe Flower of the Ages,\r\n And the first love of the world.'\r\n\r\nBut all the clocks in the city\r\n Began to whirr and chime:\r\n'O let not Time deceive you,\r\n You cannot conquer Time<\/span>.\r\n\r\n'In the burrows of the Nightmare\r\n Where Justice naked is,\r\nTime watches from the shadow\r\n And coughs when you would kiss.\r\n\r\n'In headaches and in worry\r\n Vaguely life leaks away,\r\nAnd Time will have his fancy\r\n To-morrow or to-day<\/span>.\r\n\r\n'Into many a green valley\r\n Drifts the appalling snow;\r\nTime breaks the threaded dances\r\n And the diver's brilliant bow.\r\n\r\n'O plunge your hands in water,\r\n Plunge them in up to the wrist;\r\nStare, stare in the basin\r\n And wonder what you've missed.\r\n\r\n'The glacier knocks in the cupboard,\r\n The desert sighs in the bed,\r\nAnd the crack in the tea-cup opens\r\n A lane to the land of the dead.\r\n\r\n'Where the beggars raffle the banknotes\r\n And the Giant is enchanting to Jack,\r\nAnd the Lily-white Boy is a Roarer,\r\n And Jill goes down on her back.\r\n\r\n'O look, look in the mirror,\r\n O look in your distress:\r\nLife remains a blessing\r\n Although you cannot bless.\r\n\r\n'O stand, stand at the window\r\n As the tears scald and start;\r\nYou shall love your crooked neighbour\r\n With your crooked heart.'\r\n\r\nIt was late, late in the evening,\r\n The lovers they were gone;\r\nThe clocks had ceased their chiming,\r\n And the deep river ran on.<\/pre>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\u00abMientras paseaba una tarde, andando Bristol Street abajo, las multitudes que cubr\u00edan el pavimento eran campos de trigo preparados para la cosecha, y abajo, junto al crecido r\u00edo, escuch\u00e9 cantar a un enamorado bajo una arcada de la v\u00eda f\u00e9rrea: El amor no tiene fin, te amar\u00e9, querida, te amar\u00e9 hasta que China y Africa se unan, y el r\u00edo salte sobre la monta\u00f1a y los salmones canten por las calles, te amar\u00e9 hasta que el oc\u00e9ano est\u00e9 plegado y colgado a secar y las siete estrellas corran graznando como gansos por el cielo, los a\u00f1os correr\u00e1n como conejos<\/span><\/strong>, porque en mis brazos sostengo la flor de las eras y el primer amor del mundo. Pero todos los relojes de la ciudad comenzaron a vibrar y a sonar, \u00a1Oh! No permit\u00e1is que el tiempo os enga\u00f1e, el tiempo no puede conquistarse, en las madrigueras de la pesadilla d\u00f3nde desnuda est\u00e1 la justicia, el tiempo vigila desde las sombras y tose cuando quer\u00e9is besaros, a base de dolores de cabeza vagamente la vida se nos escurre y el tiempo har\u00e1 su capricho ma\u00f1ana u hoy<\/span>, en muchos valles verdes se introduce la terrible nieve, el tiempo rompe las hilvanadas danzas y el brillante arco iris del somormujo. \u00a1Oh! Hundid vuestras manos en agua, hundidlas hasta la mu\u00f1eca, fijad, fijad la mirada en la palangana y preguntaros qu\u00e9 os hab\u00e9is perdido, el glaciar golpea en el armario, el desierto suspira en la cama y la grieta de la taza de t\u00e9 abre un camino hasta la tierra de los muertos (\u2026) \u00a1Oh! Poneos, poneos junto a la ventana mientras abrasan las l\u00e1grimas y comienzan a fluir, amar\u00e9is a vuestro retorcido vecino con vuestro retorcido coraz\u00f3n, era tarde, tarde anochecida, los amantes hab\u00edan partido, los relojes hab\u00edan dejado de sonar, y el profundo r\u00edo segu\u00eda fluyendo.\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
