Better the crime, the suicides of lovers, the incest committedby brother and sister like two mirrorsin love with their likeness, better to eatthe poisoned bread, adultery on a bedof ashes, ferocious love, the poisonousvines of delirium, the sodomite who wearsa gob of spit for a rose in his lapel, better to be stoned in the plaza than to turnthe mill that squeezes out the juice of life, that turns eternity into empty hours, minutes into prisons, and time intocopper coins and abstract shit . Octavio Paz
