No one behind, no one forward. The way that the ancients opened has been closed. And the other, wide and easy, of all, does not go anywhere. I'm alone and I make my way.... This edition of Octavio Paz's poems brings together all the versions that the Mexican author made of poets from China, Japan, and India.
Nadie atrás, nadie adelante. Se ha cerrado el camino que abrieron los antiguos. Y el otro, ancho y fácil, de todos, no va a ninguna parte. Estoy solo y me abro paso.
