Dilius, having in his mind a stubborn and enthusiastic dream,
Swore to challenge, if needed, all intervening obstacles
For the pretense of giving another dimension to his manly existence.
He insisted putting Providence at test under different skies,
To dare other men rubbing himself to another kind of reality.
Swore to challenge, if needed, all intervening obstacles
For the pretense of giving another dimension to his manly existence.
He insisted putting Providence at test under different skies,
To dare other men rubbing himself to another kind of reality.
Our hero left one good morning at the conquest of well-being
He was happily hopping on the great boulevard of ecstasy.
But misfortune, faithful to its acrimonious rendezvous,
Stretched its darkness on the enchanting panorama of his expectations.
His dream exploded in a cataclysm of regrettable circumstances.
The dream he dreamt capsized, similarly to Perette's milk pot in the fable
And in the falling of his dream his manly dignity also broke in pieces.
All is lost in the malevolent footsteps of a vulgar quotidian
From his newly adopted citizenship to his desire to aspire to happiness
All that is left is his Haitian citizenship, nowadays a mocking heritage,
But a highly historical legacy, not always attractive, but that never succumbs.
Ernst Delma
He was happily hopping on the great boulevard of ecstasy.
But misfortune, faithful to its acrimonious rendezvous,
Stretched its darkness on the enchanting panorama of his expectations.
His dream exploded in a cataclysm of regrettable circumstances.
The dream he dreamt capsized, similarly to Perette's milk pot in the fable
And in the falling of his dream his manly dignity also broke in pieces.
All is lost in the malevolent footsteps of a vulgar quotidian
From his newly adopted citizenship to his desire to aspire to happiness
All that is left is his Haitian citizenship, nowadays a mocking heritage,
But a highly historical legacy, not always attractive, but that never succumbs.
