“Y a ti, viajero, te dará sombra siempre, pero detén tu marcha pesarosa ante esa sombra suya. No olvidarás jamás que ha sido la triste, cruel, umbrosa, la efímera morada de múltiples cabezas negras colgando entre el follaje, incorruptibles. And you, traveller, it will shade you always, but slow your heavy step before its shadow. Never will you forget this tree has been of multitudinous black heads hanging among the foliage, the sad, cruel, shadowy, the ephemeral dwelling incorruptible. (de Un Manzano de Oakland, para Angela Davis)”
