Ara no sé si et veig, encar. Els ulls et miren, i voldria que aixó fos veure’t. Si sabia que et veig i et sé, com fóra avar de poder dir que cap mirall del món, ni l’aigua més serena no et saben dir; que sols alena un pit que estimi el que el cristall no veu ni diu! Si fos així! Que tu només fossis en mi! Lluny dels meus ulls, tan limitada, tan reduïda a gest, a esguard, a imatge, a veu, que jo fos part de tu, vivent per ma mirada.
