Stanzas que tocam o coração e a alma do poeta.

6.IV

(…)

“Por una extraña manera

mil vuelos pasé de un vuelo

porque esperanza del cielo

tanto alcanza cuanto espera

esperé solo este lance

y en esperar no fui falto

pues fui tan alto tan alto,

que le di a la caza alcance.”

*****

“6.IV

“In a wonderful way

my one flight surpassed

a thousand,

for the hope of heaven

attains as much as it hopes for;

this seeking is my only hope,

and in hoping, I made no mistake,

because I flew so high, so high,

that I took the prey.”
