In shadowy form, coming to ease my fate,
Utterly naked in my arms, to lie and wait,

practical
Cartesianism that has shaped our everyday lives--especially our professional everyday lives--into a purely mind-based and time-measured form of living (within which our existential inscription into space, the relationship between our senses and the things of the world, as well as the inertia of our bodies, have lost all importance).

De la mágica luna se colora,
Del sol poniente al lánguido desmayo
Lejos entre las nubes se evapora; [100]
Sobre las cumbres que florece el mayo
Brilla fugaz al

Cruza tal vez por entre el bosque umbrío,
Juega en las aguas del sereno río.
