For those who can read Spanish #2
I AM SO HAPPY!!!
I JUST FINISHED THE DESIGN OF MY PROGRAMS!
I am going to print them myself ... I know I am 8 months ahead, but tonight I began to work a little bite here and there ... and I finished the design! Now I got to find the right paper, and my self-computer oriented gift for Christmas is a new printer. For those that followed the trend with the poem in Spanish for the reading, here there are the two poems I included in one of my program cover (it is threefold) … they might seem long, but I can assure you that they fit perfectly and in a font not too small for reading.
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use ,
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, - I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! -and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning,
Antes de amarte, amor, nada era mío,
Vacilé por las calles y las cosas,
Nada contaba ni tenía nombre,
El mundo era del aire que esperaba.
Yo conocí salones cenicientos,
Túneles habitados por la luna,
Hangares crueles que se despedían,
Preguntas que insistían en la arena.
Todo estaba vacío, muerto y mudo,
Caído, abandonado y decaído,
Todo era inalienablemente ajeno,
Todo era de los otros y de nadie,
Hasta que tu belleza y tu pobreza
llenaron el otoño de regalos.
Pablo Neruda
I hope this gives some ideas for those Spanish brides that are trying to combine their family heritage with theirs Anglo FH.
Good luck,
Elena
