From the library
Tendría yo como ocho o nueve años, cuando era ya en mí manía irrefrenable manchar papeles, trazar garambainas en los libros y embadurnar las tapias, puertas y fachadas recién revocadas del pueblo, con toda clase de garabatos, escenas guerreras y lances del toreo.
«¡No te manches en la arena
Como la mancha oscura, orlada en fuego,
bariolaban la mancha del paisaje.
