This poem, by Antonio Machado, was translated from the Spanish by our late friend and teacher Ramiro Ortega.
Wayfarer, your footprints
are the only road; nothing else.
Wayfarer, there is no road;
you make your road by walking.
By walking you make your path.
And when you look back,
you see the path
you will never set your foot again.
Wayfarer, there is no road;
Only wake-trails on the sea.
