de corazon y de conciencia, porQue hay
I'M Hamlet ell ell fondo de TODD cora
zon humane; EN- la obscuridad de la
conciencia de csc Hamlet, hay siempre
el centeneo de una luz cue no supo
recoger. La luz murio paso; pero su
cstcla Queda, Y jamas, adn cuando la
luz de la justicia ilumine Ia obscuridad
de esa conciencia, volvera aquella SON
risa del cielo inundar con sus delicias
Ia existencia
Eugenio Maria de Hossos
