“گورنبشتهای برای یک دهقان اسپانیایی
ژنرال فرانکو احضارم کرد
من سرباز شدم
فرار نکردم
میترسیدم
ممکن بود تیربارانم کنند
میترسیدم
این بود که در ارتش
علیه آزادی، علیه عدالت جنگیدم
اما باز هم مرگ به سراغم آمد؛ آنگونه که سراغ دیگران میرود”

“They say, that when I was born,
my mother taught me to suck the milk.
And every night beside my crib,
she taught me to sleep as soft as silk.
With a smile she pressed her lips to mine,
till my mouth with joy oversplit.
She took my hand and guided my foot,
till I learned to walk with a happy lilt.
One word, two words, then three and more...
that's how she taught me to talk.
That's why my life is part of her life,
and will remain so as long as I live”

“پس اين فرشتگان به چه كارى مشغولند
كه مثل پرندگان راست راست مى چرخند در هوا
سر ماه
حقوق شان را مى گيرند
پس اين فرشتگان به چه كارى مشغولند
كه مرگ تو را نديدند
كاش پر و بال شان در آتش آفتاب تير بسوزد
ما با ذغال شان
شعار خيابانى بنويسيم
پس اين فرشتگان پيرشده
جز جاسوسى ما
به چه كارِ بدِ ديگرى مشغولند
كه فرياد ما به گوش كسى نمى رسد”

“آدمها میآیند
زندگی میکنند
میمیرند
و میروند
اما
فاجعهی زندگی تو
آن هنگام آغاز میشود
که آدمی میميرد
اما
نمیرود
میماند
و نبودنش در بودن تو
چنان ته نشین میشود
که تو میمیری در حالی که زندهای
و او زنده میشود در حالی که مرده است
از مزار که بازگشتی
قبرستان را به خانه نیاور”

“The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.”
