ee cummings dice que:

A wind has blown the rain away
and blown the sky away
and all the leaves away,
and the trees stand (...)
I think, I too, have known
autumn too long.

pero a mi me gusta más lo que dice wallace stevens:

Union of the weakest develops strength not wisdom.
Can all men, together, avenge one of the leaves that have fallen in autumn?
But the wise man avenges by building his city in snow.


¡Construyamos ciudades in snow!
Al menos tendremos un lugar donde refugiarnos.
