Letters to a Young Poet (1934)
Context: No experience has been too unimportant, and the smallest event unfolds like a fate, and fate itself is like a wonderful, wide fabric in which every thread is guided by an infinitely tender hand and laid alongside another thread and is held and supported by a hundred others.

“I have swallowed a secret burning thread.”
The Queen and the Soldier
Suzanne Vega (1985)
“He who holds me by a thread is not strong; the thread is strong.”
Quien me tiene de un hilo no es fuerte; lo fuerte es el hilo.
Voces (1943)
