Espinazo del diablo
With a stroke a of luck (and inspiration), I found something I've been searching for. Some lines and quotes from Devil's Backbone. Especially this one.
What is a ghost? A tragedy condemned to repeat itself time and again? An instant
of pain, perhaps. Something dead which still seems to be alive. An emotion
suspended in time. Like a blurred photograph. Like an insect trapped in amber.
And also a poem (translated)
In Memoriam
Stay by my side as my light grows dim
As my blood slows down and my nerves shatter with stabbing pain
As my heart grows weak
And the wheels of my being turn slowly
Stay by my side
As my fragile body is racked by pain
Which verges on truth
And manic time
Continue scattering dust
And furious life bursts out in flames.
Stay by my side
As I fade
So you can point to the end of my struggle
And the twilight of eternal days
At the low, dark edge of life
-Alfred Lord Tennyson (Verse L.)
