• Me encanta esta palabra, decadencia, todo brillo en púrpura y oro. Sugiere los pensamientos sutiles de una civilización suprema, una alta cultura literaria, un alma capaz de placeres intensos. Desprende estallidos de fuego y el brillo de las piedras preciosas. Evoca el rouge de las cortesanas, los juegos del circo, el jadeo de los gladiadores, el resorte de las fieras, el consumirse en llamas de razas agotadas en su capacidad de sensaciones, mientras suena el paso de un ejército invasor.

• Your soul is a chosen landscape Where charming masked and costumed figures go Playing the lute and dancing and almost Sad beneath their fantastic disguises. All sing in a minor key Of all-conquering love and careless fortune They do not seem to believe in their happiness And their song mingles with the moonlight. The still moonlight, sad and beautiful, Which gives the birds to dream in the trees And makes the fountain sprays sob in ecstasy, The tall, slender fountain sprays among the marble statues.

• The rosy hearth, the lamplight's narrow beam, The meditation that is rather dream, With looks that lose themselves in cherished looks; The hour of steaming tea and banished books; The sweetness of the evening at an end, The dear fatigue, and right to rest attained, And worshipped expectation of the night,— Oh, all these things, in unrelenting flight, My dream pursues through all the vain delays, Impatient of the weeks, mad at the days!

• Savia que sube, y flores que empujan,
  Tu infancia es una enramada:
  Deja que mis dedos vaguen por el musgo
  Donde brilla el capullo de rosa
  Déjame entre las hierbas limpias
  Beber las gotas de rocío
  Que salpican la tierna flor

• London, black as crows and noisy as ducks, prudish with all the vices in evidence, everlastingly drunk, in spite of ridiculous laws about drunkenness, immense, though it is really basically only a collection of scandal-mongering boroughs, vying with each other, ugly and dull, without any monuments except interminable docks.
