Si la mémoire s'endort dans les greniers cette fleur et le poète ont une même histoire de violente écriture, preuve que la pensée n'est pas ce que l'on dit, mais dedans le miroir un exact incendie.

Soy un hombre: nada más y nada menos --dijo--. Quiero tener tiempo para vivir, y que lo tengan también los demás hombres. No he nacido para destripar terrones: a mí, lo que me hubiera gustado es hacer casas. [...] No sé lo que queréis decir cuando nombráis el padre, el hermano: a todos los hombres los respeto y los quiero del mismo modo. Quiero andar por todos los lados, comer cuando tenga hambre y dormir cuando tenga sueño.

Now, if terrestrial culture were a pyramid, at the apex (where the power is) would sit a blind man, for so constituted are we that only by blinding ourselves, bit by bit, may we rise above our fellows. The man at the apex has an inmense preoccupation with the welfare of the whole, because he regards it as the source and structure of his elevation, which it is, and as an extension of himself, which it is not.
