Classics Continued: Romeo and Juliet

It was years after the greatest tragedy ever known by the souls of the hoary Veronese sky.

Words about the disastrous destiny of the two brave lovers were never spoken,

For words transformed into something indescribable -

Every word wanted to be pronounced was rather scant,

And the catastrophic end of the poor faithed yet rich hearted Romeo and Juliet Turned into the story of the stars:

Seen by all,

Altered by none.

Benvolio,

The good-hearted man who is now father of two

One named Juliet, the other Romeo,

Is still visiting the lovers’ tomb each and everyday

No matter if the sun is burning through his pale skin

Or rain is flowing in his vulnerable vein,

To check if the heroes still hold each other’s hands

And to lay starflowers,

As the God commands.
