´´Mi verso comprendió que tus figuras no querrán enseñar sus caras, porque son lo más falso de nosotros; que sus enormes pies y sus manazas no son más que raíces que mantienen sus posturas fugaces y dinámicas, son estados anímicos que engendran, esas mismas posturas en el alma.´´
Freely translated ´´My verse understood that your figures do not want to show their faces, for as they are the most evil part of us; where as its enormous feet and hands are merely roots that maintain their dynamic and transient postures, they are states of mind that engender these very same postures in our soul ´´
