Second Confession<\/h1>\n

I confess
\nin the name of things,
\nof the strange things of things,
\nof the enormous things of things, of the known things
\nof things …
\nIn the name
\nof its extension and depth
\nwhat is concrete reflection
\nof the complexity of the universe;
\nthat is to say,
\nin the name
\nof the appreciated, of the hated, of the ephemeral
\nand of the eternal things
\nof things …<\/p>\n

In the name
\nof those apparent simplicity
\nin which it entertains
\neach segment
\nof the restless attention of life,
\nsnatching spaces and moments
\nthat become knowledge
\nof each story
\nof the root causes,
\nefficient and sufficient …
\nof the facts present,
\npast,
\ntrue and transcendent
\nthat have found
\nresidence in reality<\/p>\n

I also confess
\nin the name of the causal reasons and their consequences.
\nAnd in the name
\nof the driving act of imprudent or relevant coincidences;
\nand finally …
\nI repeat it:
\nI confess in the name
\nof the simple
\nand of the complex things
\nof things …;
\nand especially
\nabove all things
\nof things …
\nI confess in the name
\nof the deepest
\nand pure feelings
\nof love to the people
\nthat my mind does not house
\nas thought first
\ndifferent thing
\nto the indispensable struggle
\nfor the emancipation of the oppressed.<\/p>\n

CONFESI\u00d3N SEGUNDA<\/h1>\n

(Spanish original)<\/p>\n

Me confieso
\nen el nombre de las cosas,
\nde las extra\u00f1as cosas de las cosas,
\nde las enormes cosas de las cosas,
\nde las conocidas cosas
\nde las cosas…
\nEn el nombre
\nde su extensi\u00f3n y profundidad
\nque es reflejo concreto
\nde la complejidad del universo;
\nes decir,
\nen el nombre
\nde las apreciadas, de las odiadas, de las ef\u00edmeras
\ny de las eternas cosas
\nde las cosas…<\/p>\n

En el nombre
\nde esas simplezas aparentes
\nen las que se entretiene
\ncada segmento
\nde la atenci\u00f3n inquieta de la vida, arrebat\u00e1ndoles espacios y momentos que se tornan en conocimiento
\nde cada historia
\nde las causas profundas,
\neficientes y suficientes…,
\nde los hechos presentes,
\npasados,
\nciertos y trascendentes
\nque han encontrado
\nresidencia en la realidad<\/p>\n

Tambi\u00e9n me confieso
\nen el nombre de las razones causales y sus consecuencias.
\nY en el nombre
\ndel acto motriz de las casualidades imprudentes o pertinentes;
\ny, en fin…,
\nlo repito:
\nme confieso en el nombre
\nde las sencillas
\ny de las complejas cosas
\nde las cosas…;
\ny en especial,
\npor sobre todas las cosas
\nde las cosas…,
\nyo confieso en el nombre
\nde los m\u00e1s profundos
\ny puros sentimientos
\nde amor al pueblo
\nque mi mente no alberga
\ncomo pensamiento primero
\ncosa diferente
\na la irrenunciable lucha
\npor la emancipaci\u00f3n de los oprimidos.<\/p>\n
