from Proverbios y CantaresXXIX, 1909
Caminante, son tus huellas
el camino, y nada màs;
caminante, no hay camino,
se hace camino al andar.
Al andar se hace camino,
y al volver la vista atràs
se ve la senda que nunca
se ha de volver a pisar.
Caminante, no hay camino,
sino estelas en la mar.
Wayfarer, your footsteps are
the way, and nothing more;
wayfarer, there is no way,
you make the way by walking.
By walking you make the way,
and when you look behind
you see the path which never
again is to be trod.
Wayfarer, there is no way,
just the stars upon the sea.
A poem by the Spanish poet Antonio Machado. There is no explicit gay connection here, but this poem can teach us that we gay people have to walk forward with pride.
