a joyful song. "

La Catrina



" I recommend her to you to you ,not as a husband but an enthusiastic admirer of her work, acid and tender, hard as steel and delicate and fine as a butterfly's wing, loveable as beautiful smile and profound and cruel as the bitterness of life ."

-Diego Rivera to an American critic, 1938


"... Su obra es ácida, tierna y dura como el acero. Fina como el ala de una mariposa y cruel como la amargura de la vida...
Verán yo no creo que ninguna mujer haya plasmado jamás tan angustiosa poesía en un lienzo. "

-Diego Rivera

Pausa

PAUSA

De vez en cuando
hay que hacer una pausa
contemplarse a sí mismo
sin la fruición cotidiana
examinar el pasado
rubro por rubro
etapa por etapa
baldosa por baldosa
y no llorarse las mentiras
sino cantarse las verdades.

- Mario Benedetti

Imagine

" What if you slept,
And what if,
in your sleep
you dreamed ?
And what if,
in your dream,
you went to heaven
and there plucked
a strange and beautiful flower ?
And what if,
when you awoke,
you had the flower
in your hand ?
What then ? "

Infinito Series


" Ver el Universo en un Grano de Arena y el Paraíso en una Flor :
atrapar el Infinito en la palma de la mano y la Eternidad en una hora ."

" To see a World in a Grain of Sand and a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand and Eternity in an hour. "

-William Blake
