[XXXV]

SENTO D’UN FOCO UN FREDDO ASPETTO ACCESO

I See a face that in itself is cold,

Yet lit with fire that burneth me afar;

Two arms, that quiet and unmoving are,

Whereby all else is moved and controlled;

The vision of a beauty I behold,

Immortal, yet pursuing me to death;

A power that free, my own envelopeth;

Another’s balm, that may my hurt enfold.
