lovers by ~nutti on deviantART
The earth grows fragrant in the evening shadows –
So sweet the flowers’ breath is and so light,
And from the dreamland of a bygone springtime
You come again to visit me tonight.
An anxious thought once more disturbs my spirit,
A blissful joy is glowing in my eyes.
Words fade away, only a distant echo
Repeats your name, the name my heart still cries.
With my whole being I can sense your presence,
To earth you bring the fragrance of a dream,
You are a lambent light whose rays of wonder
Tonight into my sombre bosom stream.
Though far away you are, at this great distance
You are as ever my longed-for delight
Emerging like a fairy queen of dreamland
Amid the fragrant shadows of the night.
Vincas Mykolaitis-Putinas, translated by Lionginas Pažūsis

About me
A girl living in a figurative ivory tower not too far from the literal middle of Europe. Good at keeping my head in the clouds, bad at making my feet stay on the ground.
