“Arise, O Atlas (Sonnet 1100) Vakna, Stå upp, o Modige Atlas! Ta världen på din axel, Förkasta allt som är ojust. Awake, Arise, O Atlas Supreme, Take the world on your shoulder. Denounce all roots of hate and hurt, Wielding your humanitarian viking thunder. I don't write for creatures of gutter, I write for those craving for open skies. If you can give up your golden fancies, I'll give you a world beyond the lies. Despierta, levántate, oh loco amante! El mundo entero está a tu cuidado. Give up your aphrodisiac of wild ancestry, Somos humanos cuando nos descubrimos en cada humano.”
