DREAM WAS YESTERDAY
(Francisco de Quevedo)
was sleep yesterday, Tomorrow will be earth
Shortly before anything, and soon smoke
and ambitions, and I presume
Just point the fence I close! Brief combat
pressing war,
In my defense, I bring great peril:
And while I burn my arms, my host Less
body, bury me. It is no longer
Yesterday, tomorrow has not arrived;
Today happens, and is and was, with death
That brings me headlong.
Hoes is the time and date,
That wages of my grief and care,
Cavan in my life my own grave.
