to live the minute, the precise second.
They are the fathomless hours,
the hours most charged with passion, with astonishment,
which this century [20th] endures as it climbs the summits
of a hundred years. I hear and the whole world listens
to time as it fecundates your blood
and lets you burst in explosions
of color, lines, and words
which daily echo
and will forever echo."
-Luis Alberti
