La Mujer y Su Mar
Quisiera esta tarde divina de octubre pasear por la orilla lejana del mar; que la arena de oro y las aguas verdes y los cielos puros me vieran penar … Ser alta , soberbia, quisiera, como una romana, para concordar con las grandes olas, y las rocas muertas y las anchas playas que ciñen el [...]
