Work -ahead, and love-inside:
And love, greedy whirlpool,
the whole soul drags to the deep center;
the work perishes and the jealous love,
As soon as by his fault the man makes mistakes,
With fault and without vigor leaves him lost.
Work and Love by Jose Marti (1895)
my own translation from Spanish of a poem by the most famous poet from Cuba, died 1895.

Great! Just being curious: have you ever tried “Los Zapaticos de Rosa”_ “Rose´s Little Shoes”?

I sent a translation of the Red Shoes to the Boredom Competitions group not to long ago, for their competition on shoes, it did not win, because I was pressed for time with the deadline I only translated the first and the last page and not the middle 2 pages, and called it an excerpt. It is in my profile.
thank you
