Ir de nuevo al jardín cerrado, que tras los arcos de la tapia, entre magnolios, limoneros guarda el encanto de las aguas. Oír de nuevo en el silencio vivo de trinos y de hojas, el susurro tibio del aire donde las almas viejas flotan. Ver otra vez el cielo hondo a lo lejos, la torre esbelta tal flor de luz sobre las palmas: las cosas todas siempre bellas. Sentir otra vez, como entonces, la espina aguda del deseo, mientras la juventud pasada vuelve. Sueño de un dios sin tiempo.
