Proverbios y cantares XXIX / “Wanderer,” by Antonio Machado
- Public Paddle with guests from Make the Road New York, June 10, 2017
- Caminante, son tus huellas / Wanderer, your footsteps are
- el camino y nada más; / the road, and nothing more;
- Caminante, no hay camino, / wanderer, there is no road,
- se hace camino al andar. / the road is made by walking.
- Al andar se hace el camino,/ By walking one makes the road,
- y al volver la vista atrás / and upon glancing behind
- se ve la senda que nunca / one sees the path
- se ha de volver a pisar. / that never will be trod again.
- Caminante no hay camino / Wanderer, there is no road –
- sino estelas en la mar. / Only wakes upon the sea.
- Our friends from Make the Road New York, June 10, 2017

In memoriam Thomas Lux
- How many dawns, chill from his rippling rest / The seagull’s wings shall dip and pivot him,
- Shedding white rings of tumult, building high / Over the chained bay waters Liberty—
- Then, with inviolate curve, forsake our eyes / As apparitional as sails that cross
- Some page of figures to be filed away; / —Till elevators drop us from our day ...
- Out of some subway scuttle, cell or loft / A bedlamite speeds to thy parapets,
- Tilting there momently, shrill shirt ballooning, / A jest falls from the speechless caravan.
- Down Wall, from girder into street noon leaks, / A rip-tooth of the sky’s acetylene;
- All afternoon the cloud flown derricks turn ... / Thy cables breathe the North Atlantic still.
- O harp and altar, of the fury fused, / (How could mere toil align thy choiring strings!)
- Terrific threshold of the prophet’s pledge, / Prayer of pariah, and the lover’s cry,
- Again the traffic lights that skim thy swift / Unfractioned idiom, immaculate sigh of star
- Beading thy path—condense eternity: / And we have seen night lifted in thine arms.
- Under thy shadow by the piers I waited / Only in darkness is thy shadow clear. / The City’s fiery parcels all undone, / Already snow submerges an iron year ... /

- And through that cordage, threading with its call One arc synoptic of all tides below— Their labyrinthine mouths of history
- Pouring reply as though all ships at sea Complighted in one vibrant breath made cry,— “Make thy love sure—to weave whose song we ply!”

- These and all else were to me the same as they are to you, I loved well those cities, loved well the stately and rapid river,
- The men and women I saw were all near to me, Others the same—others who look back on me because I look’d forward to them,
- (The time will come, though I stop here to-day and to-night.)
