Jeremy's journal

Be quiet the doctor's wife said gently, let's all keep quiet, there are times when words serve no purpose, if only I, too, could weep, say everything with tears, not have to speak in order to be understood.

José Saramago

🦋 Wanderer there is no path

O.M.G: look at the 77th quatrain (as numbered in this translation) of the Rubáiyát (written 800 years or more before the good Machado's birth):

Todos los seres tratan de recorrer el camino del conocimiento:
Aún lo buscan unos; otros afirman que ya lo encontraron.
Sin embargo, aún no se ha levantado la voz que un día clamará:
"No hay camino; no hay sendero".


Everyone tries to walk in the path of knowledge:
Some are still searching, some claim that they have found it.
But the voice has not yet spoken up which one day will cry out:
"There is no road; there is no path."

Another "path" reference is in quatrain 14: "No anda seguro por el Sendero el hombre que no ha recogido el fruto de la verdad. -- The man who has not reaped the fruit of truth will not walk easy down the Path."
