... who knows what other travellers might not have set out with a wild surmise for these shores? Looking perhaps for Luca Antara; perhaps just for the day after tomorrow.
Exactly how I feel right now. There is a saying in Spanish "parir chayotes" ("give birth to chayotes"). The sort of "chayotes" people refer to, however, are full of spines.
Sometimes every word feels like a chayote.
(Though I know the expression is far from achieving Vallejo's skillfulness and elegance it seems appropriate for the occasion.)

that's vivid ... Vallejo kept my head alive for half a decade, in the 80s, consequently I still have many lines of his in memory that ... surface.
