  Longings
  
  Like the beautiful bodies of those who died before growing old,
  sadly shut away in sumptuous mausoleum,
  roses by the head, jasmine at the feet --
  so appear the longings that have passed
  without being satisfied, not one of them granted
  a single night of pleasure, or one of its radiant mornings.
  
  Constantine P. Cavafy
