Louis Aragon | Non esistono amori felici / There is no happy love, 1943

By Art periods and styles , , , ,
Nulla appartiene all’uomo. Né la sua forza
Né la sua debolezza né il suo cuore E quando crede
Di aprire le braccia la sua ombra è quella di una croce
E quando crede di stringere la felicità la stritola
La sua vita è uno strano e doloroso divorzio
Non esistono amori felici.

ed in questo puoi essere paragonata al vino.
