Spring


Early in spring the Cydonian 

Quinces are watered by streams flowing

Out of the rivers, where virgins have

Gardens untouched, and the first shoots of new vines

Grow strong in the shade of the flourishing vine leaves.

But for me, desire

Never rests, not even for a season,

Blazing with lightning that fires

The Thracian North Wind as it storms

Along Cypris, blowing with a scorching madness

In darkness, without fear he strikes.

From my earliest memories, Eros,

The master of my will.
