Amelia Golding, Alison Cameron - Tranquil

from Fragments of Solitude by Cameron Lam

/

about

Quiet and meditative, aware of impending change, Tranquil is not without tension, silence does not last forever, the lake will be disturbed. Through calm solitude we learn to forgive.

Here we discover contemplation.

lyrics

Text from The Solitudes by Luis de Góngora
as translated by Edith Grossman

The Second Solitude (lines 825-831)

The crowd has not yet disturbed the banks of the
tranquil lake whose looking glass
the timid kingbird forgives.
No arrow shot by bowstrings
presumes to equal its unequal tips,
for in vain does a feather adorn a shaft
as it adorns a wing.
