A MAN IN A WOMAN: Renaissance poetry of Michelangelo Buonarroti

A MAN IN A WOMAN

 

A man in a woman, even one god, for his mouth speaks, so I have to listen to this fact, I never will be mine. I should think so, much as I am, I was taken away from her, out of myself, have pity on me; yes above the vain desire spurs me her beautiful face, I see death in all beauty. Oh woman, who steps for water and fire, the memory of glad days, do that to myself no longer come back.

(Michelangelo Buonarroti)
