“¡Río Grande de Loíza!...Mi manantial, mi río, desde que alzóme al mundo el pétalo materno; contigo se bajaron desde las rudas cuestas, a buscar nuevos surcos, mis pálidos anhelos; y mi niñez fue toda un poema en el río, y un río en el poema de mis primeros sueños. Río Grande de Loíza!...My wellspring, my river since the maternal petal lifted me to the world; my pale desires came down in you from the craggy hills to find new furrows; and my childhood was all a poem in the river, and a river in the poem of my first dreams.”
