Traveler.En mis versos yo ando sobre el mar, camino sobre olas desdobladas de otras olas y de otras olas... Ando en mi verso; respiro, vivo, crezco en mi verso, y en él tienen mis pies camino y mi camino rumbo y mis manos qué sujetar y mi esperanza qué esperar y mi vida su sentido.(Dulce Maria Loymaz)

TravelerÍTACA I Cuando salgas para hacer el viaje hacia Ítaca has de rogar que sea largo el camino, lleno de aventuras, lleno de conocimiento. Ten siempre en el corazón la idea de Ítaca. Has de llegar a ella, es tu destino pero no fuerces nada la travesía. Es preferible que dure muchos años que seas viejo cuando fondees en la isla rico de todo lo que habrás ganado haciendo el camino sin esperar a que dé más riquezas Ítaca te ha dado el bello viaje sin ella no habrías salido. Y si la encuentras pobre, no es que Ítaca te haya engañado. Sabio como muy bien te has hecho sabrás lo que significan las Itacas. (Constantino Kavafis)

TravelerA mis soledades voy, de mis soledades vengo, porque para andar conmigo me bastan mis pensamientos. No sé qué tiene el aldea donde vivo y donde muero, que con venir de mí mismo, no puedo venir más lejos. Ni estoy bien ni mal conmigo; mas dice mi entendimiento que un hombre que todo es alma está cautivo en su cuerpo. (Lope de Vega)
