Traveller, the road is only your footprint, and no more; traveller, there's no road, the road is your travelling. Going becomes the road and if you look back you will see a path none can tread again. Traveller, every track leaves its wake on the sea... Once in this place where bushes now have thorns the sound of a poet's cry was heard 'Traveller there's no road the road is your travelling...'

translated by A. S. Kline Antonio Machado (1875 - 1939)  Spanish poet
