“I have become intoxicated again.
You are such a potent wine, my friend.
To escape your withdrawal effects,
tomorrow I will drink in excess.

Alas, why make me love?
I was aware, conscious, and sensible before.
I am ill by cause of this illusion.
The devil plays tricks on me more and more.

I was a harp you immaculately plucked at will.
Your score, the nightingale song within
notes composed to imprison and bear me wings.
Oh, if only they could hear how it sings!

I am now beyond parched.
My strings left untouched.
You are no longer an oasis, my friend,
but a mirage soon coming to an end.”

“Although man can forget in the long- (perhaps too long) guarded feelings of youth, in the dreamy state of stubbornly held remembrances, that the wheel rolls onward, nevertheless mercilessly does the gray hair, the relaxation of the skin and the wrinkles in the face tell us, that whether or not we expose the body to the destroying powers of the whole struggle of life, the poison of the stealthily creeping serpent of time consumes our bodies, which, alas! we so dearly love.”
― C.G. Jung, Psychology of the Unconscious

“Debe existir el gran secreto
Que nos permita tal vez añadir
Cien letras más al alfabeto
Y tengo fe al predecir

Que alguna vez habrá palabras
Que expresaran lo que quiero decir
Y habrá también una balada
Que cantará la ilusión que hay en mí

Y alguna vez tendremos alas
Para volar, volar y volar
Y al terminar cada jornada
En una estrella poder descansar

Alguna vez quizá podremos
Bordar pañuelos con rayos de Sol y
Alguna vez tendremos tiempo
Para inventar nuevamente el amor

Y alguna vez tendremos alas
Para volar, volar y volar
Y al terminar cada jornada
En una estrella poder descansar

Y al terminar cada jornada
En una estrella poder descansar”
― Roberto Gómez Bolaños
