“I came from the sea and to the sea I would return, to be immersed in her story, ever lost and everlasting.”
Nina Cassian, Life Sentence: Selected Poems

“I’m getting lovelier by the hour.
I glow like a corpse in the dark.”
Nina Cassian

“Dragostea mea,
ancora grea,
tine-ma strâns;
toate ma dor:
gura – de dor,
ochii – de plâns.

Vântul cazu –
– poate ca nu,
dar s-a facut
liniste-n cer,
fara puteri,
ca la-nceput.

Nu mai visez
pasi pe zapezi,
urme de vulpi;
nu mai sunt flori,
sufletul lor
doarme în bulbi.

Singuratati…
Nu mi te-arati,
nu-mi trimiti vesti.
Cat fara rost.
Oare ai fost?
Oare mai esti?”
Nina Cassian
