"¿Y a mí qué me importa el futuro? Sin duda, Seldon lo habrá previsto y se habrá preparado para él. Llegarán otras crisis en el futuro, cuando el poder del dinero esté tan muerto como fuerza histórica como lo está ahora el de la religión. Que mis sucesores resuelvan sus problemas, como yo he resuelto el nuestro."

Walking at Night (An Italian Sonnet) [Continuation of "Theseus"]

Theseus is still walking in the night

While the mysteries of the forest comes

As he hear the sinister sound of drums

That comes whispering of the dead and blight,

Of his empty banal life and take flight

To a place outside of time that will crumbs

When the endless California succumbs

To the rigid laws of electric light.



A black dragon around his left leg gleam,

A gargantuan bug with hairy legs,

A keen requiem to the mother of earth.

But this is just a very backward dream,

About the ancient art of beggar’s begs

That makes his mind to rethink a rebirth.
