For the new year, from The FSG Book of Latin American Poetry, edited by Ilan Stavans.
from Fiera de Amor / by Delmira Agustini (Uruguay, 1886-1914), translated by Ilan Stavans
And I clamored to the impossible heart… the statue,
A custodian of its glory, pure and serene,
With its forehead in Tomorrow and its feet in Yesterday
