From something like that or it doesn't begin at all.”

A Child is Born (1942)
Context: I am not tired.
I am expectant as a runner is
Before a race, a child before a feast day,
A woman at the gates of life and death,
Expectant for us all, for all of us
Who live and suffer on this little earth
With such small brotherhood. Something begins.
Something is full of change and sparkling stars.
Something is loosed that changes all the world.
Quoted in: Ann Livermore (1988), Artists and Aesthetics in Spain. p. 154
