To This Great Stage of Fools: Born March 31st

Entre lo que veo y digo,
entre lo que digo y callo,
entre lo que callo y sueno,
entre lo que sueno y olvido,
la poesia.
–Octavio Paz, b. 1914.

Between what I see and what I say,
Between what I say and what I keep silent,
Between what I keep silent and what I dream,
Between what I dream and what I forget,
Poetry.
