Re:the poetry - Look for "DESIDERATA"
Hello lPoetry lover:
I am looking for one poetry , like a letter, founded at one church at Baltimore, United States, named "DESIDERATA" o something like that. This is one opinion of how you must see the life and is very realistic. If you can finf in, please write it for me. I have one of this, but in Spanish, my native tongue.
Going up quitely between the noise and the agiteted movement
and remember that you can find peace in the Silent
Untill where it is possible to you
try to be in order with your conciencius
give with hapiness the things of love,but not been //cinicus /CINICO
in love
Keep the interest in your own career. It is the only real possesion in the changes of fortune thru the times.
and remember you have the right to be hear
you are a criature from the universe
fight / LUCHAR / for been Happy

I would like if you can find the original english text. I am sure you will like it very much.

Regard Mary

Re:Re:the poetry - Desiderata
hi!
i'm a new (non gold) member. i have recently browse through the bulletin board and found your posting regarding Desiderata. i happen to have its english translation, given by my english teacher sometime ago. so i post it here, assuming you haven't found it...


Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
And remember what peace there maybe in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender,
Be on good terms with all persons.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
And listen to others,
Even the dull and ignorant;
They too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
They are vexations to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others,
You may become vain or bitter,
For always there will be greater
And lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble,
It’s a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs,
For the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
Many persons strive for high ideals,
And everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself.
Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
For in the face of aridity and disenchantment,
It is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
Gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

Nurture strength of the spirit
To shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many years are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
Be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe
No less than the trees and the stars;
You have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
No doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
Whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labor and aspirations,
In the noisy confusion of life,
Keep peace in your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams,
It is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.


regards,
ketty
