THIS IS FOR YOU: Poetry of Leonard Cohen

THIS IS FOR YOU This is for you, it is my full heart, it is the book I meant to read you when we were old. Now I am a shadow, I am restless as an empire. You are the woman who released me I saw you watching the moon. You did not hesitate to love me with it, I …

WITHOUT YOU: Poetry, by John Keats (1795/1821)

By bike, of course. If you want, you can rent a bicycle to observe – with deliberate slowness – wonderful castles and inns.

ONE DAY WILL EXIST: Poetry, by Rainer Maria Rilke

ONE DAY WILL EXIST One day there will the girl and the woman, whose name will no longer mean only one opposed to the male, but something in itself, something that will not be expected to complete and border, but only in real life: the feminine humanity. This progress will transform the experience of love, which is now full of …
