José Martí Quote

I know that when the world
surrenders, pallid, to repose,
the murmur of a tranquil stream
through the deep silence flows.


I (Yo soy un hombre sincero) as translated by Esther Allen in José Martí : Selected Writings (2002), p. 275 - Simple Verses (1891)


I know that when the world surrenders, pallid, to repose, the murmur of a tranquil stream through the deep silence flows.

I know that when the world surrenders, pallid, to repose, the murmur of a tranquil stream through the deep silence flows.

I know that when the world surrenders, pallid, to repose, the murmur of a tranquil stream through the deep silence flows.

I know that when the world surrenders, pallid, to repose, the murmur of a tranquil stream through the deep silence flows.
