True poems are fires. Poetry spreads everywhere setting alight every realization with a trembling of pleasure or agony.
— Vicente Huidobro, "Preface" in Altazor. Translated by Eliot Weinberger. (Wesleyan University Press, 2003)

Altazor, Vicente Huidobro
¿Por qué un día de repente sentiste el terror de ser?
Y esa voz que te gritó vives y no te ves vivir
V. Huidobro ~ Altazor
Soy una orquesta trágica
Un concepto trágico
Soy trágico como los versos que punzan en las sienes
y no pueden salir
Arquitectura fúnebre
Matemática fatal y sin esperanza alguna
Capas superpuestas de dolor misterioso
Capas superpuestas de ansias mortales
Subsuelos de intuiciones fabulosas
— Vicente Huidobro, Altazor.
Vicente Huidobro, Altazor
Cuando sonríes haces pensar en el comienzo del mundo.
Vicente Huidobro.
