On sonnet by Francisco de Quevedo (1580-1645):

El Maestro Irracional

Músico llanto, en lágrimas sonoras, / llora monte doblado en cueva fría, / y destilando líquida armonía, / hace las peñas cítaras canoras.

Ameno y escondido a todas horas, / en mucha sombra alberga poco día; / no admite su silencio compañía: / solo a ti, solitario, cuando lloras.

Son tu nombre, color y voz doliente / señas, más que de pájaro, de amante; / puede aprender dolor de ti un ausente.

Estudia en tu lamento y tu semblante / gemidos este monte y esta fuente, / y tienes mi dolor por estudiante.

The Irrational Instructor (English version: A. S. Kline)

A musician weeping in sonorous lament, / drawing stony echoes from cold caverns, / while distilling a liquid harmony, / turns the rocks into sounding zithers.

At all hours, pleasantly concealed / in the deep shade, hosting little light, / it admits no company to its secrets, / only you, uttering your sad cries.

Your name, colour, and sorrowful voice, / denote not some strange bird, but a lover: / a listener might learn from your pain.

Compare your laments and countenance, / with these sighs, and this stony brow; / and become a student of my sorrows.
