RIMA XLVI
Hiding in the shadows she wounded me,
sealing her betrayal with a kiss.
She threw her arms around my neck, and in cold
blood, stabbed me behind my back.
And now she continues happily on her way,
pleased, smiling, undaunted; and why is that?
Because the wound could not be seen…
Because the corpse was walking!
Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer
