Buscando mis amores
iré por esos montes y riberas,
ni cojeré las flores
ni temeré las fieras
y pasaré los fuertes y fronteras.
San Juan de la Cruz. Canto Espiritual

*In search of my loves
I will go over mountains and shores
I will gather no flowers
Nor will fear the wild beasts
And I will go through fortresses and frontiers.
St John of the cross. Spiritual Anthem.

For brother John, who, with with the excuse of religious fervour, wrote some of the most spiffing poetry ever.
* My own translation. If you don’t approve of it go learn Spanish, by all means.:-)
