Quote by Stanley G. Payne

“El objetivo primordial de los criollos blancos que formaban la élite era mantener su preeminencia a cualquier precio, y una minoría —Simón Bolívar, José de San Martín y sus seguidores— también buscaba la independencia de España. Por el contrario, como consecuencia del odio que sentían hacia los criollos, los más leales a la monarquía fueron las gentes de color.”

“Plants: infinite plants, not one species known to the visitors from the house of Man. Infinite shades and intensities of green, violet, purple, brown, red. Infinite silences. Only the wind moved, swaying leaves and fronds, a warm soughing wind laden with spores and pollens, blowing the sweet pale-green dust over prairies of great grasses, heaths that bore no heather, flowerless forests where no foot had ever walked, no eye had ever looked. A warm, sad world, sad and serene.”
