Palabras Melódicos

"Sólo una casa callada como la nieve, un espacio al cual llegar, limpia como la hoja antes del poema."
-Sandra Cisneros (Una casa propia)

This is such beautiful imagery. Esperanza, the main character in the story, is describing the home she wants for herself. The last line she says is (more or less) "Just a home quiet like the snow, a space in which to come home to, clean like the page before the poem."

Isn't that pretty???? It's like the words are so delicate and beautiful that they should almost just be whispered. I adore literature, especially spanish literature!!!
