Sophia versus Eros Sonnet

Sophia versus Eros Sonnet

 
In Eros I find ultimate inspiration
Exit the Hatred! Exit the dark nimbus!
I summon the great power of Olympus!
Bring me the wisdom of the Greek Nation
 
 
To reunite my soul and body in one
I gather the very best in love and reason
Holy Sophia! Goddess of the Wisdom
Shall I fight this inner battle all alone?
 
 
[...]
 
 
In wine I will not drown myself again
Because my heart now belongs to that lady
My empress, my deity and my everything.
 
 
Time has come to fulfill and old omen
The prophecy that follows like a shade
A golden ring I bring to your very finger

O eu-lírico tenta conciliar a razão [deusa Sofia] e o amor [Deus Eros], alcançando a felicidade [casamento] após passar pelo conflito interno, anestesiado pelo "vinho dos solitários".
