y los misterios escondidos en las páginas de un libro

perderse de las buenas amistades,
y dejar atrás a un alma en la búsqueda de su propósito

y deseos de volver a ser niños sin cuidado
 
 
Quien quisiera ver los cerros verdes del Nayar,
el amanecer en la Toscana,
y el surgimiento del ciudadano mundial

Lover of life, nature, and dreams
Who feels happiness, pain, and hope
 
Who needs the forest’s fresh air,
the family’s refuge,
and the mysteries hiding in the pages of a book
 
 
Who fears forgetting the beautiful moments of life,
losing out on the good friendships,
and leaving behind a soul in search of its purpose
 
 
Who gives warm embraces, contagious laughs,
and the desire to once again become children without a care
 
 
Who would like to see the green hills of the Nayar,
the sunrise in Tuscany,
and the emergence of a world citizen

Another point miscomprehended by people who are clumsy at languages is that one does not need to learn a whole language in order to understand some one or some dozen poems. It is often enough to understand thoroughly the poem, and every one of the few dozen or few hundred words that compose it.
      — Ezra Pound, "How to Read," 1929
