YOUTHFUL MISTAKE
Any object that charms or dreams
Gets its clarity from women;
The white pearl, without Eve,
Without you, my proud beauty,
Resembling, all ugly,
To my love that flees from you,
Is no more than the disease
Of a beast in the night
A POEM BY VICTOR HUGO
naked woman, black woman
Dressed in your color which is life, in your form which is beauty
I grew up in your shadow;
the softness of your hands blindfolded my eyes
And now, in the heart of summer and noon,
I discover you, Promised land, from the top of a high charred pass
And your beauty strikes me right in the heart, like the lightning of an eagle
