Samuel Taylor Coleridge -Phantom-

Phantom
Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772 -1834 )

All look and likeness caught from earth
All accident of kin and birth,
Had pass'd away. There was no trace
Of aught on that illumined face,
Uprais'd beneath the rifted stone
But of one spirit all her own ;--
She, she herself, and only she,
Shone through her body visibly.


Fantasma

Todo parecido y semejanza robado a la tierra,
todo accidente de parentesco y nacimiento,
se había desvanecido. No quedaba huella
de nada en aquel rostro iluminado,
elevado detrás de la piedra hendida,
salvo un espíritu todo suyo;
ella, ella misma y sólo ella,
brillaba a través de su cuerpo visiblemente.
