Amor Constante

For my Spanish reading comp class we have been reading a lot of famous Spanish literature.
I kind of love it.
Everything sounds so much more beautiful in another language.
Or maybe it just seems more beautiful to me because I am acually sort of understanding what it is saying.
I just came across this poem by Francisco Quevedo that I love called
Amor constante más allá de la muerte
After I finished the last line, it was one of those mind blowing moments, it doesn't sound nearly as wonderful in English, so if you don't like it, my feelings won't be hurt.
I know it seems kind of dark since it's about death, but it's also about eternal life and how once we're gone we are still capable of loving and being loved.

Constant love beyond Death
Perhaps whatever final shadow that
the shining day may bring could close my eyes,
and this my soul may well be set aflight
by time responding to its longing sighs;

but it will not, there on the farther shore
its memory leave behind,
where once it burned:my flame the icy current yet can swim,
and so severe a law can surely spurn.

Soul by no less than a god confined,
veins that such a blazing fire have fueled,
marrow to its glorious flames consigned:

the body will abandon, not its woes;
will soon be ash, but ash that is aware;
dust will be, but dust whose love still grows
