Coloquio Entre Monos Y Una Edgar Allan Poe

Publisher Marketing: UNA.- Renacida? MONOS.-Si, mi hermosa y mas amada Una. Esta era la palabra, sobre cuyo mistico significado yo habia meditado tan larga mente, rechazando la explicacion del sacerdote, hasta que la Muerte ha descifrado el secreto para mi. UNA.- La Muerte! MONOS.-; Que extranamente repites mis palabras, dulce Una! Y que gozosa inquietud en tus ojos! Estas confusa y sobrecogida por la majestuosa novedad de la Vida Eterna. Si, hablaba de la Muerte, y que singularmente suena aqui esa palabra que en los viejos tiempos acostumbraba llenar de terror todos los corazones, haciendo marchitar todos los deleites!"
