Joan Brossa - Note lyrics

This sonnet I have divided into parts to make the meaning clearer. In the first I explain how the mountains seem to detach the night from the walls; in the second, I describe how a charcoal burner walks through the snow with a lantern, thus referring to human experience. The third is a sudden vision of life as an imaginary sweepstake. The second begins here: The tree-stump, devoured by the vegetation; and the third here: With rigid mane, a horse rises from the sea.
