Sonnet # 19 by Luis A. Estable
For reasons many I the world do call To come as one to turn pain, tears to mirth, And like a seed in blessings huge though small Step by step lat us fill with smiles the earth. Why do we flowers with good eyes caress? And even snakes find some who love them dear. My […]
Sonnet # 18 by Luis A. Estable
Today I`m sad; yes sad, my eyes did imply. The heart can`t see; it`s true hidden it lives. On human vision his love must rely. My eyes quite spoke, her beauty one that gives. It was not so; she was a thorn inside, And poor my heart that followed my eyes` mood. Now my emotions […]

Sonnet # 14 by Luis A. Estable
With tears on his face you can have child, No hands to clean the sadness of his life; His hardship, suffering in pain quite wild For his heart`s and mind`s strife through eyes a knife. You can have a girl in hate with her dreams Which have become the color of her skin. Then through […]

These words are not to cut their lives in tears; Not to condemn with fire, or them abuse. But absolute is nothing; it appears. Think through my true concern: the female use. So what`s the axiom in terms of mind If one develops dirty taste with mirth? Do you allow the freedom; play heart-kind? Or […]
Sonnet # 10 by Luis A. Estable
And so your lips provoking me to sweat. Your eyes that make the ones of others dirt. And when you wet, it`s nothing I have met. You make the rose with human feelings hurt. But this`s not all; I have to tell your chest That is, my dear, worth of an angel`s face. What crazy […]

Orlando Furioso Canto 5 by Ludovico Ariosto
ARGUMENT Lurcanio, by a false report abused, Deemed by Geneura’s fault his brother dead, Weening the faithless duke, whom she refused, Was taken by the damsel to her bed; And her before the king and peers accused: But to the session Ariodantes led, Strives with his brother in disguise. In season Rinaldo comes to venge […]

ARGUMENT The old Atlantes suffers fatal wreck, Foiled by the ring, and young Rogero freed, Who soars in air till he appears a speck, Mounted upon the wizard’s winged steed.

Orlando Furioso Canto 24 by Ludovico Ariosto
ARGUMENT Odorico’s and Gabrina’s guilt repaid, Youthful Zerbino sets at large the train; He in defence of good Orlando’s blade, Is afterwards by Mandricardo slain.

[…]
Orlando Furioso Canto 21 by Ludovico Ariosto
ARGUMENT Zerbino for Gabrina, who a heart Of asp appears to bear, contends.

Towards loud […]
Orlando Furioso Canto 20 by Ludovico Ariosto
ARGUMENT Guido and his from that foul haunt retire, While all Astolpho chases with his horn, Who to all quarters of the town sets fire, Then roving singly round the world is borne.

ARGUMENT Charles goes, with his, against King Rodomont. Gryphon in Norandino’s tournament Does mighty deeds; Martano turns his front, Showing how recreant is his natural bent; And next, on Gryphon to bring down affront, Stole from the knight the arms in which he went; Hence by the kindly monarch much esteemed, And Gryphon scorned, whom […]
Orlando Furioso Canto 16 by Ludovico Ariosto
ARGUMENT Gryphon finds traitorous Origilla nigh Damascus city, with Martano vile.

[…]
Orlando Furioso Canto 15 by Ludovico Ariosto
ARGUMENT Round about Paris every where are spread The assailing hosts of Africa and Spain. Astolpho home by Logistilla sped, Binds first Caligorantes with his chain; Next from Orrilo’s trunk divides the head; With whom Sir Aquilant had warred in vain, And Gryphon bold: next Sansonet discerns, Ill tidings of his lady Gryphon learns. I […]

ARGUMENT Another love assails Bireno’s breast, Who leaves one night Olympia on the shore.

Orlando Furioso Canto 1 by Ludovico Ariosto
CANTO 1 ARGUMENT Angelica, whom pressing danger frights, Flies in disorder through the greenwood shade. Rinaldo’s horse escapes: he, following, fights Ferrau, the Spaniard, in a forest glade. A second oath the haughty paynim plights, And keeps it better than the first he made. King Sacripant regains his long-lost treasure; But good Rinaldo mars his […]
On The High Pedestal by Shahida Latif
On The High Pedestal by Shahida Latif When I unfurl, unfold my wings, For the new flight and fresh trip, I remember you by recollecting Memories of the past. Drops of tears like lamps Begin to hang on the lashes, The colourful stars begin to glimmer On the hems of my dress. I feel the […]
No quise detenerte by Luz del Alba Nicola
No quise detenerte by Luz del Alba Nicola La soledad del monte me recuerda tu ausencia. Humea en espirales un tronco entre las llamas como cuando seguiste las oscuras gaviotas por caminos que el tiempo fue flechando con alas. No quise detenerte, como tampoco al humo, como tampoco al canto doloroso del grillo. Mi mano […]
