Doubtlessly I am nothing more than a wayfarer, a vagabond on this earth. But are you anything else?
SÃ, ciertamente, yo no soy más que un peregrino, un vagabundo en esta Tierra. ¿Sois vosotros otra cosa?

Y yo, mÃnimo ser,
ebrio del gran vacÃo
constelado,
a semejanza, a imagen
del misterio,
me sentà parte pura
del abismo,
rodé con las estrellas,
mi corazón se desató con el viento.
-- Pablo Neruda

But to have been
once,
even if only once,
to have been on earth
just once--
that's irrevocable.
