Excerpt from En Tierra Yankee (Notas a Todo Vapor) 1895

Y mientras pensaba estas cosas y otras, había pasado de los brazos de mis amigos a los muelles y calientes cojines del Pull man, y el tren devoraba kilómetros al ritmo presuroso de sus enormes herraduras metálicas que golpeaban á compás el acero de la vía. Por mi ventanilla abierta veía distraídamente un vul gar cielo de zaf1r maculado de nubes blancotas con vientre gris que despuntaban la serranía azulosa del anfiteatro del fondo; más acá, la ondulación verde amarillenta de los collados estériles y secos; aquí cerca, los nopales formados en batalla, ofreciendo al caminante, en gruesos platos de espinas, las esponjas de agua azucarada y fresca de sus tunas blanquizcas; de cuando en cuan do los chopos y los mezquites cortaban con una mancha som bria aquel paisaje de desierto que salpicaban con sus pirámides de púas algunos centenares de magueyes. Aquello me parecía triste y feo; no eran una nota alegre los caseríos que, de tiempo en tiempo, agrupaban sus techos rojizos junto á los surcos ba rrancosos de riachuelos invisibles. Todas esas tintas se fundían en mi retina en una impresión monócroma; los indios que sur gían de repente en las orillas de los secos y abortados maizales, tenían color de paisaje. Y, sin embargo, acabé por sentir algo de dulce y musical en aquella tonalidad fría y melancólica; los hi los del telégrafo, rígidos y en fuga perpetua, pautaban esa mú sica sin notas.
