PHILOSOPHY

.

Welcome the sun. spider, no need for spite.

Give thanks to God, o toad, for your life.

The hairy crab carries rosy thorns

and the mollusk something similar to the female sex.

.

Learn to be what you are, enigmas, given form

Give up the Norm,

a responsibility, in time, passed to the Divine,

(Play cricket, to the moonshine, and bear, dance.)

.

Nicaragua, 1905
