First lines

PARTE I. SOLEDADES

Es medio día. Un parque. Invierno. Blancas sendas, simétricos montículos y ramas esqueléticas.

Bajo el invernadero, naranjos en maceta, y en su tonel, pintado de verde, la palmera.

Un viejecillo dice, para su capa vieja: «¡El sol, esta hermosura de sol!.» Los niños juegan.
