Don Juan, Canto II

 

            " In the first canto the hero, Don Juan, wrecked on a Greek Island and saw the daughter of a pirate, Haidee. The daughter and the hero fall deeply in love. Together they are on a rocky coast with creeks merging out of the ocean. When the huge waves come in, the sun reflects its ray on the ocean to create a sparkling glitter effect.
             There is no wind for the sand or the waves to be blown. You can hear the seabird's cry in all the stillness. The only time the stillness is disturbed is when the leap of a dolphin and the waves flew up the sides of the rocks and water moves up the shore. .
             Together they walk without her sire. Haidee has no one. Zoe waited on Haidee all day. She brought her water, washed her hair and every now and then asked for her old dresses.
             It is sunset and everything is settling down. You can see the moon and stars peeking through. The whole ocean is calm. The two kept walking hand in hand over the sandy beach, stems of the flowers left by storms. In a cave with a shiny roof, they lie down holding each other's arms, looking in the sky at the bright colors. They look at the shiny sea with the moon high up above them. Water is splashing with light wind rolling on top it. They look at one another and feel their love for one another: they begin to kiss.
             The kiss was very long and passionate. Everything was perfect it is all in harmony. The "kiss" was nonstop with no one counting. If they did count, they could not keep the right time because they wrapped up in each other's love. They did not speak to one another but they could feel the attraction as if their lips gave the other a signal. When they are together, they stick with sweetness.
             The two were alone in their own sense just not behind closed doors. Silent ocean and the starry sky, which started to dim, but they did not fear it. They did not fear things that were watching or hearing them, nor terrors from the night. .
             Haidee did not have doubts, never asked for promises or offered any, never heard a promise of marriage and never wanted to become a house cleaner.
