Dolores Corbella said that this poem “It perfectly reflects that relationship between the sea and the word that has guided all my speech” My work defines it […] constitutes a standard for any islander: The sea I have sought like a dream, / Make my word yours, / Do not let it rest on my forehead, / Fill it with bumps and waves, / Lift it up for me, / Give it liberty to walk everywhere ”.
