Summary

Portrait of César Vallejo César Vallejo,  The Spider

“ It is a spider that trembles fixed
on the edge of a stone;
the abdomen on one side,
and on the other the head.
With so many feet the poor thing, and it cannot even then
make up its mind. And, seeing it today
stunned in such a difficulty,
it grieved me so to see this traveler.
It is an enormous spider, impeded by
its abdomen from following its head.
And I have thought of its eyes
and of its numerous feet...
And it grieved me so, this traveler!
