Strangely enough, I thought of Eliot often when reading The Heights of Machu Picchu. It trained me to wait for the payoff.
Dadme el silencio, el agua, la esperanza.
Dadme la lucha, el hierro, los volcanes.
Apegadme los cuerpos como imanes.
Acudid a mis venas y a mi boca.
Hablad por mis palabras y mi sangre.
Tell me more.
When work gets stressful I reach for one of 2 books on the desk in my office:-
Poema del Cante Jondo by Freddy teh ***, and
AntologÃa Poética by Juan Ramón Jiménez
So who wrote that Macchu Picchu thingy?
