Octavio Paz  - Quotes

 Mineral cactai,

quicksilver lizards in the adobe walls,

the bird that punctures space,

thirst, tedium, clouds of dust,

impalpable epiphanies of wind.

The pines taught me to talk to myself.

In that garden I learnedto send myself off.

Later there were no gardens.

 Good-bye -- if you hear of my being stood up against a stone wall and shot to rags please know that I think that a pretty good way to depart this life. It beats old age, disease or falling down the cellar stairs.
