Written by Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz | I Approach and I Withdraw I Approach and I Withdraw (Español) Me acerco y me retiro: ¿quién sino yo hallar puedo a la ausencia en los ojos la presencia en lo lejos? Del desprecio de Filis, infelice, me ausento. ¡Ay de aquel en quien es aun pérdida el desprecio! Tan atento la adoro que, en el mal que padezco, no siento sus rigores tanto como el perderlos. No pierdo, al partir, sólo los bienes que poseo, si en Filis, que no es mía, pierdo lo que no pierdo. ¡Ay de quien un desdén lograba tan atento, que por no ser dolor no se atrevió a ser premio! Pues viendo, en mi destino, preciso mi destierro, me desdeñaba más porque perdiera menos. ¡Ay! ¿Quién te enseño, Filis, tan primoroso medio: vedar a los desdenes el traje del afecto? A vivir ignorado de tus luces, me ausento donde ni aun mi mal sirva a tu desdén de obsequio. Top of page I Approach and I Withdraw (English) I approach, and I withdraw: who but I could find absence in the eyes, presence in what's far? From the scorn of Phyllis, now, alas, I must depart. One is indeed unhappy who misses even scorn! So caring is my love that my present distress minds hard-heartedness less than the thought of its loss. Leaving, I lose more than what is merely mine: in Phyllis, never mine, I lose what can't be lost. Oh, pity the poor person who aroused such kind disdain that to avoid giving pain, it would grant no favor! For, seeing in my future obligatory exile, she disdained me the more, that the loss might be less. Oh, where did you discover so neat a tactic, Phyllis: denying to disdain the garb of affection? To live unobserved by your eyes, I now go where never pain of mine need flatter your disdain.

Written by Constantine P Cavafy | Hidden From all I've done and all I've said let them not seek to find who I've been. An obstacle stood and transformed my acts and way of my life. An obstacle stood and stopped me many a time as I was going to speak. My most unobserved acts, and my writitings the most covered -- thence only they will feel me. But mayhaps it is not worth to spend this much care and this much effort to know me. For -- in the more perfect society -- someone else like me created will certainly appear and freely act.

Written by Emily Dickinson | Summer laid her simple Hat Summer laid her simple Hat On its boundless Shelf -- Unobserved -- a Ribbon slipt, Snatch it for yourself. Summer laid her supple Glove In its sylvan Drawer -- Wheresoe'er, or was she -- The demand of Awe?
