Time
The ravages of time
Personal project.
I wanted to express some ideas about youth, that comes with a game of secretive seduction, threatened by the decadence of aging.
It has a free interpretation, as each one has its own feelings about old age.
I dislike poetry, but this fragment is the exception that proves the rule.
“Mano de viejo mancha
el cuerpo juvenil si intenta acariciarlo.
Con solitaria dignidad el viejo debe
pasar de largo frente a la tentación tardía.”
(Luis Cernuda, Desolación de la quimera, 1962)
“An old man’s hand stains
the young flesh if he tries to touch it.
Whith reserved honor the old man must
walk pass by facing the late temptation”
(translation)
