EAST OF EDEN by John Steinbeck



"Everything is only for a day, both that which remembers and that which is remembered. Observe constantly that all things take place by change, and accustom thyself to consider that the nature of the universe loves nothing so much as to change things which are and to make new things like them. For everything that exists is in a manner the seed of that which will be."

CONTRAELEGÍA


Mi único tema es lo que ya no está.
Sólo parezco hablar de lo perdido.
Mi punzante estribillo es nunca más.
Y sin embargo amo este cambio perpetuo,
este variar segundo tras segundo,
porque sin él lo que llamamos vida
sería de piedra.

José Emilio Pacheco (1969 - 1972)
