Love in the Time of Corona
1
Let us celebrate, rejoice and dance
In the valley of blooming jasmines,
You and I dear love
I drizzle you with my thin rain
And you wash me with your crystal dew,
It is time of corona,
And it may be our last moment to depart.
2
Your gardens are still closed
And our festival postponed.
3
I am not deaf or blind
One wink or knock
At my door and I will be there
Galloping on your meadows
Or gathering your scent plants,
Or drifting
Between the upper and lower mouths
Or dipping under the waves of " the Aegean Sea"
Before our last moment to depart,
It is the time of corona.
4
Don't you think that Adam had won?
When for a lick of you
Had his paradise lost
And inferno endured.
5
We are now besieged by corona virus
Open your doors
Let us celebrate you and I
Or, as St. Augustine remarked, "when it must come to man’s great function of the procreation of children, the members which were expressly created for this purpose will not obey the direction of the will, but lust has to be waited for to set these members in motion, as if it had legal right over them.” In "The City of God" he argued that, after choosing to sin, Adam, the 1st man, lost Paradise because he could not endure being separated from Eve, his only companion.
