Poem of JealousyThat man is peer of the gods, who
face to face sits listening
to your sweet speech and lovely
laughter.It is this that rouses a tumult
in my breast. At mere sight of you
my voice falters, my tongue
is broken.Straightway, a delicate fire runs in
my limbs; my eyes
are blinded and my ears
thunder.Sweat pours out: a trembling hunts
me down. I grow
paler than grass and lack little
of dying.* translated by Williams Carlos Williams, 1958
