Julia De Burgos Quotes

I adored you without thinking of you physically. I kissed your smile and adored your illusions.

I am life, I am strength, I am woman.

Beauty of blood. Innocent beauty flowering in my weeping.

Recuerdo que algún día yo le hablé de mi río
y una como tormenta se agitó en sus estrañas.
No sé si fue mi pecho que tembló de recuerdo
o si fueron mis ojos que asomaron nostalgias."

"I remember a day when I spoke of my river
and something like a storm stirred in his being.
Was it my breast that trembled with the memory
Was it nostalgia that showed through my eyes

You curl your hair and paint your face. Not I: I am curled by the wind, painted by the sun.

Tell me, in storms, that you love me.
