Beautiful poetic lines by José Bergamín Gutiérrez

The writer was born in 1895 in Madrid and was a friend of Federico García Lorca. He wrote poetry, plays, and essays.

Agua sólo es el mar; agua es el río. Agua el torrente, y agua el arroyuelo. Pero la voz que en ellos habla y canta No es del agua, es del viento.

Water is just the sea; water is the river. Water is the current, and water is the brook. But the voice that speaks and sings in them Is not of the water, but of the wind.
