THEME AND VARIATIONS
No one has loved or hatedin vain.
Those who were far away
were loved,
and those who were too near,
hated.
It is easy to understand this
Since you could never accept yourself
in spite of your great imagination
and the landscapes.
But love and hatred
identification and rejection
have failed.
Now only a surpassing that does not reject but destroys
is possible
Does not love
but builds.
Does not challenge
but struggles.
Does not embrace
but goes right through.

TEMA Y VARIACIONES
A nadie has amado en vanoni odiado.
Quienes estaban lejos
fueron amados,
y aquellos demasiado próximos
odiados.
Es fácil comprenderlo
puesto que nunca pudiste aceptarte
a pesar de tu gran fantasía
y de los paisajes.
Mas el amor y el odio
la identificación y el rechazo
han fracasado.
Ya no es posible sino la superación que no rechaza
destruye.
No ama
construye.
No desafía
lucha.
No abraza
traspasa.
