Art/Literary - Poetry & Literature / contemporary Cuban poetry | | Spanish term or phrase: las hierbas de los placeres de la ciudad | This is contained in a poem by Cuban Nancy Morejon, talking about a boy who has grown up on the streets of a Havana slum but who is kind and generous to everyone. The entire passage is this
Vivio sin conocer las letra impresa,
sin haber leido las sagradas escrituras
en los libros suntuosos
pero era un sabio ante cualquier proverbio,
ante cualquier circunstancia amarga
y ante las hierbas de los placeres de la ciudad. |
