And life is but a dream.... Things happened in life, and you felt them, but it was all in your mind, the colors, the fear and anxiety.

La veo y me recuerdo, y como el agua va al agua, así yo, melancólico, vengo a encontrarme en su imagen cubierta por el polvo, rodeada por las hierbas, encerrada en sí misma y condenada a la memoria y a su variado espejo. La veo, me veo y me transfiguro en multitud de colores y de tiempos. Estoy y estuve en muchos ojos. Yo solo soy memoria y la memoria que de mí se tenga.
