an eye because you see it;

it is an eye because it sees you.

2

ask a question first,

then -- listen.

Narcissism

is an ugly fault

and now it's a boring fault too.

4

But look in your mirror for the other one,

the other one who walks by your side.

Between living and dreaming 

there is a third thing.

Guess it.

6

who walks always next to you

and tends to be what you aren't.

7

In my solitude

I have seen things very clearly

that were not true.

8

Form your letters slowly and well:

making things well

is more important than making them.

9

but the deep you.

10

Beyond living and dreaming

there is something more important:

waking up.

11

Pay attention now:

a heart that's all by itself

is not a heart.

12

If it's good to live,

then it's better to be asleep dreaming,

and best of all,

mother, is to awake.

13

When I am alone

how close my friends are;

when I am with them

how distant they are!

But art?

It is pure and intense play,

so it is like pure and intense life,

so it is like pure and intense fire.

You'll see the coal burning.

Antonio Machado
