I radi za svijet, al’ ne slušaj pljeska;

I nijesi, brate, živio zaludu,
Kad jesi svoj!”

“Ojalá pudiera reproducir con más claridad los tonos de su voz. A tía Augusta le gustaba hablar, le gustaba contar historias. Construía las frases con cuidado, como un escritor lento que prevé la fase siguiente y encamina hacia ella su pluma. Nunca dejaba suelta una frase, nunca interrumpía el hilo del relato.
