Tesis 3.0

Men Made Out of Words

What should we be without the sexual myth,

The human revery or poem of death?

Castratos of moon-mash–Life consists

Of propositions about life. The human

Revery is a solitude in which

We compose these propositions, torn by dreams,

By the terrible incantations of defeats

And by the fear that defeats and dreams are one.

The whole race is a poet that writes down

The eccentric propositions of its fate.

[Wallace Stevens, from Transport to Summer, 1947, 355-356]

Muy, muy, muy de lejos lo mejor que he tenido que leer en los textos en mi tesis. Los dos últimos versos son un epígrafe.
