He atravesado el mar. He conocido muchas tierras; he visto una mujer y dos o tres hombres.

I have crossed the sea.I have known many lands;

He querido a una niña altiva y blanca y de una hispánica quietud.

He paladeado numerosas palabras.

I have seen the city’s edge, an endless sprawl where the sun goes down tirelessly, over and over.

Creo profundamente que eso es todo y que ni veré ni ejecutaré cosas nuevas.

I have relished many words.

Creo que mis jornadas y mis noches se igualan en pobreza y en riqueza a las de Dios y a las de todos los hombres.

I believe deeply that this is all and that

I will neither see nor accomplish new things.
