« All quotes from this author
 

Me gustas cuando callas porque estás como ausente,
y me oyes desde lejos, y mi voz no te toca.
--
I like for you to be still: it is as though you were absent, and you hear me from far away and my voice does not touch you.
--
"I Like for You to be Still" (Me Gustas Cuando Callas), from Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair [Veinte Poemas de Amor y una Canción Desesperada] (1924), XV, trans. William Merwin [Penguin Classics, 1993, ISBN 0-140-18648-4] (p. 37)
