Desire, Lady, Asks to See You "Desire, Lady, Asks to See You Desire, Lady, asks to see you: It does not understand what it asks for; it is mistaken. This love is so fine and so thin, That whoever has it does not know what he desires. There is nothing, however natural, That does not want its state to be perpetual. Desire does not immediately want what is desired, Only because it is never lacking where it is in abundance. But this pure affection in me is damned: That, as the grave stone has as its art The center of nature's desire, So my thought, for the part That it will take of me, earthly and human, Was, Lady, to ask for this baseness." #brunette Luís Vaz de Camões 📖✨
