Mister Wiltshire

"It´s all over, the dream voice said, and now you´re the reflection
of that  mister Wiltshire, copra´s merchant at the south seas,
the white that married Urna, that had many children,
the one that killed Case and never returned to England,
you´re like the cripple that love turned into hero:
you´ll never return to your homeland (yet, which is your homeland?)
you´ll never be a wise man, well, not even a man
of reasonable inteligence, but love and your blood
moved you to make a step, uncertain but necessary, in the middle
of  the night, and the love that guided that step saves you."
--Roberto Bolaño.
