Green Rapture de Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz
La obra es una reflexión filosófica y poética que explora la relación entre el ser humano y la naturaleza. La narradora experimenta un éxtasis mágico en un jardín, donde se siente uno con la naturaleza y alcanza una comprensión profunda de la realidad.

First lines
Green rapture and delight of human life, crazed Hope, in delirious gilded frenzy, the intricate sleep of those who are awake, as bereft of treasures as it is of dreams;
soul of the world, exuberant old age, and then decrepit verdancy imagined;
of the favored the long awaited today, and of the less fortunate, the tomorrow: let those with green lenses before their eyes, seeing all things painted to their desire, follow your shadow, in search of your day;
for I, wiser, more prudent in my fortune, hold in both of my hands both of my eyes, and see no more than those things I can touch.
