Page 227 - It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion ; it is easy in solitude to live after our own ; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.
Page 146 - ¡La Muerte! Yo la he visto. No es demacrada y mustia ni ase corva guadaña, ni tiene faz de angustia. Es semejante a Diana, casta y virgen como ella; en su rostro hay la gracia de la nubil doncella y lleva una guirnalda de rosas siderales. En su siniestra tiene verdes palmas triunfales, y en su diestra una copa con agua del olvido. A sus pies, como un perro, yace un amor dormido.

Page 167 - Un gran vuelo de cuervos mancha el azul celeste. Un soplo milenario trae amagos de peste. Se asesinan los hombres en el extremo Este. ¿Ha nacido el apocalíptico Anticristo? Se han sabido presagios y prodigios se han visto y parece inminente el retorno de Cristo.
Page 168 - ¡Oh, Señor Jesucristo!, por qué tardas, qué esperas para tender tu mano de luz sobre las fieras y hacer brillar al sol tus divinas banderas! Surge de pronto y vierte la esencia de la vida sobre tanta alma loca, triste o empedernida que amante de tinieblas tu dulce aurora olvida. Ven, Señor, para hacer la gloria de ti mismo, ven con temblor de estrellas y horror de cataclismo, ven a traer amor y paz sobre el abismo.
