I have crossed many rivers
Salvador Espinas writes in the manner of Robert Frost and Maximo Ramos, but occasionally, and this is when he is really good, he writes in the manner Salvador Espinas, who lives in the mountains, who farms a little farm, who has lived a hard life, and has known a great deal of want, but who still knows beauty when beauty comes along. He writes:
“I have crossed many rivers
Wide and rough,
Braved many a tempest
Over atrocious rocks
But conquest is ever far;
At dusk
Now vicious rivers rise
Wider and rougher.”
