Había sido un arbusto desmedrado que prolonga sus filamentos hasta encontrar el humus necesario en una tierra neuva. Y cómo me nutría! Me nutría con la beatitud con que las hojas trémulas de clorofila se extienden al sol; con la beautitud con que una raíz encuentra un cadáver en descompositión; con la beatitud con que los convalecientes dan sus pasos vacilantes en las mañanas de primivera, bañadas de luz; . . .
Many of the poems in this book have appeared in magazines, especially in Poetry, Others, The Egoist, and The Poetry Journal.
