Like little pauses in an ancient song,

For in the hour of war’s discordant triumph

You both demanded “Peace”!

And I, remembering how the faces of many women

Turned toward you with passionate expectation,

How can I find consolation?

Inez, vibrant, courageous, symbolic,

Can death still claim you?

When in the whitening winter of our grief

Your smile with all the radiance of spring,
