“Una palabra canta en mi corazón, susurrante
hoja verde sin fin cayendo. En la noche balsámica,
cuando la sombra es el crecer desmesurado de los árboles,
me besa un largo sueño de viajes prodigiosos
y hay en mi corazón una gran luz de sol y maravilla”
― Morada al sur y otros poemas

“So I must say it quickly:
Whoever is in your life,
those who harm you,
those who help you;
those whom you know
and those whom you do not know –
let them off the hook,
help them off the hook.
Recognize the hook.”
