Nuestras vidas son los ríos que van a dar en la mar, qu ’es el morir
Our lives are rivers, gliding free to that unfathomed, boundless sea, the silent grave!

Cada um de nós é vários, é muitos, é uma prolixidade de si mesmos. Por isso aquele que despreza o ambiente não é o mesmo que dele se alegra ou padece. Na vasta colónia do nosso ser há gente de muitas espécies, pensando e sentindo diferentemente.
Each of us is several, is many, is a profusion of selves. So that the self who disdains his surroundings is not the same as the self who suffers or takes joy in them. In the vast colony of our being there are many species of people who think and feel in different ways.
