Gothic Arches Towards the Soul Of Brooklyn By Diana Vargas Trent

Pase el puente de Brooklyn grandioso
entre la ciudad:
fui a parar donde reina el reposo
la ruin realidad!
Mire tumbas fastuosas. altivas:
riqueza, esplendor.
el tributo de las gentes vivas
al ultimo amor.

a fragment of a poem by enrique hernandez-miyares describing his visit to the greenwood cemetery in brooklyn in 1891. in the first line of the poem he says: “i crossed the great brooklyn bridge and entered the city.” when he wrote the poem brooklyn was a city.
