🇨🇱 Gabriela Mistral — “Vergüenza”
Chilean, Nobel laureate; her letters to Doris Dana were published in 2009
Si tú me miras, yo me vuelvo hermosa
como la hierba a que bajó el rocío,
y desconocerán mi faz gloriosa
las altas cañas cuando baje al río.
If you look at me, I become beautiful — like grass the dew has fallen on. And the tall reeds will not recognise my glorious face when I go down to the river.
