i carry your heart with me - E. E. Cummings




i carry your heart with me
(i carry it in my heart)
i am never without it
(anywhere I go you go, my dear; and whatever is done by
only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear no fate
(for you are my fate, my sweet)
i want no world
(for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart
(i carry it in my heart)












Henry David Thoreau, en Walden / Traducción: Martina Benitez Vibart


"To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts, nor even to found a school, but so to love wisdom as to live according to its dictates, a life of simplicity, independence, magnanimity, and trust. It is to solve some of the problems of life, not only theoretically but practically."


"Ser un filósofo no es meramente tener pensamientos sutiles, ni siquiera fundar un colegio, más bien es amar la sabiduría y así vivir en concordancia con sus dictados, una vida de simplicidad, independencia, magnanimidad y confianza. Es resolver algunos de los problemas de la vida, no sólo en la teoría sino en la práctica".


Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862, Concord, MA)

Advice To A Son - Ernest Hemingway / Traducción: Martina Benitez Vibart


Never trust a white man,
Never kill a Jew,
Never sign a contract,
Never rent a pew.
Don't enlist in armies;
Nor marry many wives;
Never write for magazines;
Never scratch your hives.
Always put paper on the seat,
Don't believe in wars,
Keep yourself both clean and neat,
Never marry whores.
Never pay a blackmailer,
Never go to law,
Never trust a publisher,
Or you'll sleep on straw.
All your friends will leave you
All your friends will die
So lead a clean and wholesome life
And join them in the sky.

Ernest Hemingway


Consejo a un hijo (traducción: MBV)

Nunca confíes en un hombre blanco,
Nunca mates a un judío,
Nunca firmes un contrato,
Nunca alquiles un banco de iglesia.
No te enlistes en ejércitos;
Ni te cases con muchas esposas;
Nunca escribas en revistas;
Nunca rasques la urticaria.
Siempre pon papel en el asiento,
No creas en guerras,
Manténte limpio y prolijo,
Nunca te cases con putas.
Nunca le pagues a un chantajista,
Nunca vayas a la ley,
Nunca confíes en una editorial,
O dormirás sobre paja.
Todos tus amigos te dejarán
Todos tus amigos morirán
Entonces lleva una vida clara e íntegra
Y únete a ellos en el cielo.
