-4- family because of our advice. Some of the gorgios remember, and thank us. When your letter came I wanted to show it to my wife for she knows your books and that I had met you. She was always laughing .... with a share of malice, but as much of compassion. Why not, as you say. You and your dark laughter, and the river rolling down to the sea. Democritus in Greece, these centuries ago, the "Laughing Philosopher" .... the picture of him painted by the Spaniard Ribera in 1500 or so, Carmen Amaya dancing, my wife sitting with me a few days ago by the Rio Grande and Li Tai-po, in China, writing Hush! hush! All things pass with the waters of the East-flowing river ...." something all gipsies know. And that is why, even in her madness, as I saw today, my rumi can yet laugh a little and why, although there is black sorrow on me tonight for her sake, I do not weep. Thanks for your letter: it is good to know you are a friend, and I give you good luck. Sincerely Roberto Valdez unclear "El caminante"
