"I draw these letters
as the day draws its images
and blows over them
and does not return"

Gahhg.

Google is not helping this time; I was hoping someone had a book of his writings or something.

library -->

since i'm on campus and was thinking about going to the library, what book is that poem in?
think it'd be in this: "Paz, Octavio, 1914- / The collected poems of Octavio Paz, 1957-1987. / New York / 1987"

Yeah, that's the book.

I remember reading it and it being longer, - I'm not sure though, it might just be a little four line poem.
