Machado, Antonio: Proverbs and Song-Verse XXIX (Proverbios y cantares XXIX in English)
Proverbios y cantares XXIX (Spanish)Caminante, son tus huellas el camino y nada más; Caminante, no hay camino, se hace camino al andar. Al andar se hace el camino, y al volver la vista atrás se ve la senda que nunca se ha de volver a pisar. Caminante no hay camino sino estelas en la mar.

Proverbs and Song-Verse XXIX (English)Wanderer, your footsteps are the road, and nothing more; wanderer, there is no road, the road is made by walking. By walking one makes the road, and upon glancing behind one sees the path that never will be trod again. Wanderer, there is no road – Only wakes upon the sea.
