Random contemplations

In Spanish class this week (yep, I'm taking more classes, five hours everymorning, it's great) my teacher shared this poem with me written by Sor María Inés de la Cruz. I really like it and thought I would pass it along.

En perseguirme "mundo"
¿que te interesa?
en qué te ofendo
cuando sólo intento
poner belleza a mi entendimiento
y no mi entendimiento en la belleza

Translated...

In persecuting me "world"
what is your interest?
in how do I ofend you
when I only intend
to put beauty in my understanding
and not my understanding in the beauty

Note: Sor María Inés de la Cruz wrote this during the Spanish Inquisition
