“El lejano sonido de la campana de un pueblecito escondido bajo los árboles conmueve nuestra imaginación. Estos sones que las aguas transportan dulcificándolos adquieren un tinte de dulce melancolía y de resignación, y parecen decir al hombre: "la vida huye, no te muestres, pues, tan reacio a la dicha que se presenta, y apresúrate en gozarla.”
Quote by Stendhal
