" "Mucho, señora, daría
Por tender sobre tu espalda
Tu cabellera bravía,
Tu cabellera de gualda:
Despacio la tendería,
Callado la besaría.
Por sobre la oreja fina
Baja lujoso el cabello,
Lo mismo que una cortina
Que se levanta hacia el cuello.
La oreja es obra divina
De porcelana de China.
Mucho, señora, te diera
Por desenredar el nudo
De tu roja cabellera
Sobre tu cuello desnudo:
Muy despacio la esparciera,
Hilo por hilo la abriera

Additional quotes by José Martí
Antes todo se hacia con los puños: ahora, la fuerza está en el saber, más que en los puñetazos; aunque es bueno aprender a defenderse, porque siempre hay gente bestial en el mundo, y porque la fuerza da salud, y porque se ha de estar pronto a pelear, para cuando un pueblo ladrón quiera venir a robarnos nuestro pueblo.

America began to suffer, and still suffers, from the tiresome task of reconciling the hostile and discordant elements it inherited from the despotic and perverse colonizer, and the imported methods and ideas which have been retarding logical government because they are lacking in local realities. Thrown out of gear for three centuries by a power which denied men the right to use their reason, the continent disregarded or closed its ears to the unlettered throngs that helped bring it to redemption, and embarked on a government based on reason-a reason belonging to all for the common good, not the university brand of reason over the peasant brand. The problem of independence did not lie in a change of forms but in change of spirit.
