Noche Misteriosa
Mysterious Night! when the first man but knew
Thee by report, unseen, and heard thy name,
Did he not tremble for this lovely frame,
This glorious canopy of light and blue?
Yet 'neath a curtain of translucent dew,
Bathed in the rays of the great setting flame,
Hesperus with the host of heaven came,
And lo! Creation widened on his view.
Who could have thought what darkness lay concealed
Within thy beams, O Sun! or who could find,
Whilst fly and leaf and insect stood revealed,
That to such endless orbs thou mad'st us blind!
Weak man! Why, to shun death, this anxious strife?
If Light can thus deceive, wherefore not Life?
José María Blanco White

Flores
"A mi me parece que nuestra certidumbre suprema de la bondad de la Providencia está en las flores. Todas las demás cosas: nuestras facultades, nuestras ansias, nuestro alimento, son, en realidad, necesarios para nuestra existencia en primera instancia. Pero esta rosa constituye un extra. Su aroma y su color son un embellecimiento de la vida, no condición indispensable de ella. Únicamente la bondad da más de lo obligado, y por eso digo que de las flores podemos derivar esperanzas."
