A KISS AND TO A KISS

Man Ray (aliás Emmanuel Radnitzky, 1890–1976)  e uma fotografia de 1922. Robert Burns (1759–1796) e um poema de 1788. Isso e mais o dia de sol completam esta sexta-feira.

Humid seal of soft affections,

Tend'rest pledge of future bliss,

Dearest tie of young connections,

Love's first snow-drop, virgin kiss.

Speaking silence, dumb confession,

Passion's birth, and infants' play,

Dove-like fondness, chaste concession,

Glowing dawn of brighter day.

Sorrowing joy, adieu's last action,

Ling'ring lips, -- no more to join!

What words can ever speak affection

Thrilling and sincere as thine!
