Poesía

'In each man
 a seed
 trembles
 in search of heavenly waters,
 or a porous foundation.
When he sees only a long cup
of mineral mountains
and the extended blueness
against an inexorable citadel,
man changes his course;
he continues his journey,
...leaving behind the oblivion'
               
     Pablo Neruda
The Peruvian Coast
