LIFE AND LOVEA Boy and a GirlEric Whitacre (b.1970)Stretched out on the grassa boy and a girlsavoring their orangesgiving their kisseslike waves exchanging foam.Stretched out on the beacha boy and a girlsavoring their limesgiving their kisseslike clouds exchanging foam.Stretched out undergrounda boy and a girlsaying nothingnever kissinggiving silence for silence. – Octavio Paz (1914-1998)Lamb of God,who takes away the sins of the world,have mercy on us.Long RoadĒriks Ešenvalds (b.1977)I love you night and day as a star in the distant sky,And I mourn for this one thing alone: that to love, our lifetime was so short.A long road to heaven’s shining meadow, and never could I reach its end.But a longer road leads to your heart, which to me seems distant as a star.High above the arch of heaven bends and light so clear is falling.Like a flow’ring tree the world is blooming.Overwhelmed, my heart both cries and laughs.– Paulīne Bārda (1890-1983), trans.
