MEXICO

"Poetry, suspension bridge between history and truth, is not a path toward this and that: it is to see the stillness in motion, change in stillness.
History is the path: it goes nowhere, we all walk it, truth is to walk it
We neither go nor come: we are in the hands of time."

From the poem, Nocturno de San Ildefonso
Octavio Paz, Mexican poet, essayist, philosopher
