Selections from the poetry of Antonio Machado

Wanderer

    Wanderer, the road is your
    footsteps, nothing else;
    wanderer, there is no path,
    you lay down a path in walking.

    In walking, you lay down a path
    and when turning around
    you see the road you'll
    never step on again.
    Wanderer, path there is none,
    only tracks on the ocean foam.

~Antonio Machado
