“To be nobody but yourself in a world that’s doing its best to make you somebody else, is to fight the hardest battle you are ever going to fight. Never stop fighting.”

E.E. Cummings

Upon the green night,
the piercing saetas
leave traces of warm
lily.

The keel of the moon
breaks through purple clouds
and their quivers
fill with dew.

Ay, but like love
the archers
are blind!”

Federico Garcia Lorca

Voltaire

Oscar Wilde

Milan Kundera

over the watercourse.

On account of my shadow

the frogs are deprived of stars.

The shadow sends my body

reflections of quiet things.

My shadow moves like a huge

violet-colored mosquito.

A hundred crickets are trying

to gild the glow of the reeds.

A glow arises in my breast,

the one mirrored in the water.”

Federico Garcia Lorca
