Back A Selection from Naked Woman

from DWELLING IN THE SUN żEncender una luz no es desundar a una mujer? żLa llama rubia no aparece en las manos temblorosas de la sombra, de pronto, asi, como en las manos del hombre tremulo, la carne? żDesnudar a una mujer, no es como encender una luz -- Juan Ramon Jimenez Isn't lighting a lamp like undressing a woman? Doesn't the golden flame leap up in the shadow's trembling hands, suddenly like flesh in the hands of a quivering man? Undressing a woman, isn't it like lighting a lamp? -- translated by Dennis Maloney
