Largo by George Bacovia: posted for Mariana Catalina whose taste may have changed

The music made every atom ring . . .
Longing for you, and for another world,
Longing . . .
A nameless misery
Hung
Over man . . .
All pondered their lives,
Their vanishing.
The music sentimentalized
Exhaustingly,—
Longing for you, and for another world,
Longing . . .
The music made every atom ring.

translated by Peter Jay
