• Éste era el beso que tanto había esperado: un beso que había nacido junto al río de nuestra infancia, cuando aún no sabíamos lo que significaba el amor. Un beso que había quedado suspendido en el aire mientras crecíamos, que había viajado por el mundo en el sovenier de una medalla, y que había permanecido oculto tras montones de libros. Un beso que se había perdido y que ahora se encontraba. En el momento de ese beso había años de búsqueda, desilusiones y sueños imposibles.

• The angry men know that this golden age (of fossil fuels) has gone; but they cannot find the words for the constraints they hate.

• Nunca sabes que el día más importante de tu vida es tu día más importante, no hasta que está sucediendo. No reconoces el día más importante de tu vida, no hasta que estás justo en medio de él. El día en que te comprometes con algo o con alguien. El día que te rompen el corazón. El día que conoces a tu alma gemela. El día que te das cuenta de que no hay tiempo suficiente porque quieres vivir para siempre. Esos son los días más importantes. Los días perfectos.

• ¿Dónde está el cielo? me preguntas, hija mía; los sabios nos dicen que está más allá de los límites del nacimiento y la muerte, ajeno al ritmo del día y la noche; no es de la tierra. Pero tu poeta sabe que su hambre eterna es de tiempo y espacio, y lucha siempre por nacer en el polvo fecundo. El cielo se cumple en tu dulce cuerpo, hija mía, en tu corazón palpitante. El mar toca sus tambores de alegría, las flores se ponen de puntillas para besarte. Porque el cielo ha nacido en ti, en los brazos de la madre-polvo.
