SONNET 152
I know I’m breaking a promise by loving you, but you, swearing you love
me, are breaking two promises: cheating on your husband by leaving his
bed, then breaking your promise to your new lover by vowing to hate him.
But why am I accusing you of breaking two oaths when I break twenty? I
am perjured the most, because all of my vows are only made to mislead
and exploit you; I’m no longer true to you. For I have sworn great oaths
about how kind you are, oaths about your love, your faithfulness, your
constancy. And to make you look better I blinded myself, swearing to the
opposite of what I actually saw. For I have sworn that you are
beautiful; my eye is doubly a liar, offering such a foul lie after
swearing to tell the truth.
Sé que estoy rompiendo una promesa amándote, pero tú, jurando que me amas, estás rompiendo dos promesas: engañar a tu marido dejando su cama, luego rompiendo tu promesa a tu nuevo amante prometiendo odiarlo. Pero ¿por qué te estoy acusando de romper dos juramentos cuando rompo veinte? Estoy perjurado, porque todos mis votos sólo se hacen para engañar y explotar; Ya no soy fiel a ti. Porque he jurado grandes juramentos acerca de lo amables que son, juramentos acerca de su amor, su fidelidad, su constancia. Y para hacerte ver mejor me ciego, jurando lo contrario de lo que vi. Porque he jurado que eres hermosa; Mi ojo es doblemente mentiroso, ofreciendo una mentira tan horrible después de jurar decir la verdad.
In Holy Week I went with my friend Berta and her family to their family home in the Alpujarra, Granada, Andalucia.
There we had a great time, we went to see the Alahambra, we spent a day at the beach, another went to do a trip on the mountain, another day we were in the village ... We ate typical food there like the "Migas" or the " Roscos ".
I had a great time and I hope it will be repeated soon.
