““I am, for I am not (Sonnet 2539) I don't care what I am, I don't know what I am, I am, for I am not - I am empty, I contain eternity. I am not a man of faith, I am the faith of humankind. I am not ahead of time, I just tick outside the clock. I learnt nothing the traditional way, neither sciences, nor languages, all I did was dissolve myself, and oceans overflowed to saturate my senses. Yo soy, porque no soy, I am, for I am not - alive outside jungle books, cattle I am not.””
