Her is the poem ,
World , in hounding me...
Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz
translated by Alan S.Trueblood
World, in hounding me, what do you gain?
How can it harm you if I choose, astutely,
rather to stock my mind with things of beauty,
than waste its stock on every beauty's claim?
Costliness and wealth bring me no pleasure;
the only happiness I care to find
derives from setting treasure in my mind,
and not from mind that's set on winning treasure.
I prize no comeliness. All fair things pay
to time, the victor, their appointed fee
and treasure cheats even the practiced eye.
Mine is the better and the truer way:
to leave the vanities of life aside,
not throw my life away on vanity.
Please help . I really need it ..Thanks in advance <3
