The earth is brief,
as brief as a man’s solemnity.
………
When you, Earth, stop palpitating in my flesh
I, flesh, will give you all my earth.

— Juan Antonio Villacañas

More quotes by Juan Antonio Villacañas

Death is a life of questions
that are being buried,
and one ends always
with doubt tangled in the lips.

If pain does not die
we shall make it poetry.

I have an immensity which shivers in the oceans,
being, as I am, only a little fountain, small as an eye.

God borders my incredulity
constantly.
And my incredulity is so much God, that I am almost sure
to adore Him.

Thought
is a flower from other worlds, a tale
that is torn in each written word.
…………… I go outdoors
to give rest
to the soul’s tired muscles.
