Hab|¤a un solo t u¤ nel, oscuro y solitario: el m|¤o, el t u¤ nel en que hab|¤a transcurrido mi infancia, mi juventud, toda mi vida† Yentonces, mientras yo avanzaba siempre por mi pasadizo, ella viv|¤a afuera su vida normal, la vida agitada que llevan esas gentes que viven afuera. There was only one tunnel, dark and solitary: mine, the tunnel in which I had spent my childhood, my youth, my entire life† And then, while I kept moving through my passageway, she lived her normal life outside, the exciting life of people who live outside.

-Sa¤  bato, Ernesto
