Martin:

He visto muchas tristezas
en el transcurrir erróneo
de los dias,
y en las noches
a escondidas,
no he contado
todos mis placeres

Translation:

Martin:

I have seen much sadness
in the wrongful passage
of days,
and at night
in secret,
I have not told
all my pleasures

El morador de las sambras (The Haunter of the Dark), by Howard Lovecraft (H.P. Lovecraft)

Thanks to Ariel, who says, “I found this in a tiny bookstore in Buenos Aires around 2004,
and it always meant a lot to me, because of this beautiful inscription. I’m sorry I couldn’t
get a better picture, but it looks legible enough, I think.”
