Quote_tiny Elizabeth added a quote:
"Durante un rato contemplé la máquina de escribir, el libro en donde estaban anotadas las visitas, un recipiente de madera lleno de lápices, clips y gomas de borrar que parecían estar en perfecto orden, lo que me pareció imposible pues nadie en su sano juicio ordena clips (lápices y gomas, sí, pero no clips) [...]"Roberto Bolaño
Quote_tiny Elizabeth added a quote:
"Le tendí la mano (no sé por qué, no soy dado a estos formalismos, al menos no en un bar y de noche) y él vaciló antes de darme la suya. Cuando se la estreché mi sorpresa fue mayúscula. Su diestra, que esperaba suave y vacilante como la de cualquier adolescente, exhibía al tacto una acumulación de callosidades que le daba una apariencia de hierro, una mano no demasiado grande, de hecho, ahora que lo pienso, ahora que vuelvo a aquella noche een los suburbios de Irapuato, lo que aparece ante mis ojos es una mano pequeña, una mano pequeña rodeada u orlada por los exiguos resplandores del bar, una mano que surge de un lugar desconocido, como el tentáculo de una tormenta, pero dura, durísima, una mano forjada en el taller de un herrerro."Roberto Bolaño
