Las Campanas de San Blas
- Fragment -
But to me, a dreamer of dreams,
to whon what is and what seems
are often one and the same,
the bells of San Blas to me
have a strange wild memory,
and are something more than a name.

- Fragmento -
Para mi, un soñador de ensueños,
para quien cuanto es y cuanto le asemeja
a menduo son "uno y lo mismo",
para mi las campanas de San Blas
poseen una extraña y salvaje melodia,
y son algo mas que un nombre.

Henry W. Longfellow
