- 1997, Semana, Aunque usted no lo crea:
  «Los hombres ordinarios nos proponemos objetivos fáciles, cercanos y egoístas; y si algo noble acometemos bien pronto lo dejamos mustiar en el camino, por pereza mental, por laxitud del entusiasmo, por ignorancia de que, como el amor de que nos hablaba el poeta, el esfuerzo lleva en sí su propia plenitud».
  “Ordinary men set ourselves easy, nearby, and selfish goals; and if we ever undertake something noble, we soon let it wither along the way—out of mental laziness, out of fading enthusiasm, out of ignorance of the fact that, like the love the poet spoke of, effort carries within itself its own fulfillment.”
(pronominal) to whiter, to shrivel.
