Gabriela Mistral

I am struck by work of Chilean poet Gabriela Mistral in her “Decalogue of the Artist” below both languages.

Darás tu obra como se da un hijo restrando sangre de tu corazón.

You shall bring forth your work as a mother brings forth her child: out of the blood of her heart.

Perhaps I have a dream that my life would look like this page of poetry in both English and Spanish.
