“Love is eternal for as long as it lasts.”

“Love is eternal while it lasts.”

“...Who knows what death, anxiety of the living, Who knows what loneliness, end of the lovingI could say to myself of the love (I had): Let it not be immortal, since it is flame But let it be infinite while it lasts.”

“Sonnet of Fidelity Above all to my love I'll be attentiveFirst and always with care and so muchThat even when facing the greatest enchantmentBy love be more enchanted my thoughts. I want to live it through in each vain momentAnd in its honor I'll spread my songAnd laugh my laughter and cry my tearsWhen you are sad or when you are content. And thus when later comes looking for meWho knows the death anxiety of the living Who knows the loneliness end of all lovers I'll be able to say to myself of the love I had :Be not immortal since it is flameBut be infinite while it lasts.”

“Esse amor sem fim, onde andará?Que eu busco tanto e nunca estáE não me sai do pensamentoSempre, sempre longeEsse amor tão lindo que se escondeNos confins do não sei ondeVive em mim além do tempoLonge, longe, onde?Por que não me surges nessa horaComo um solComo o sol no marQuando vem a auroraEsse amor que o amor me prometeuE que até hoje não me deuPor que não está ao lado meu?Esse amor sem fim, onde andará?Esse amor, meu amor,Onde andará?”

“A vida é a arte do encontro, embora haja tanto desencontro pela vida.”

“De manhã escureçoDe dia tardoDe tarde anoiteçoDe noite ardo.”
