Jaroslav Vrchlický,
The Soul Of A Century — I close my eyes and darkness overtakes me
(1943)
“ And all this tempts me in your arms to fall. I close my eyes, and yield to the wings of night, Like a star, your being pours a stream of light It seems, in you, I hold all Beauty’s mold. Oh mystery, oh flames of a burning kiss, Oh flaming tears, boundless abandon of bliss, Oh budding breasts and hair of molten gold!
