Octavio Paz
Αετός ή ήλιος;
Eagle or Sun? (Águila o Sol?)

 Σήμερα παλεύω μὲ μία μόνο λέξη.
 Μὲ αὐτὴν ποὺ μοῦ ἀνήκει, μὲ αὐτὴν ποὺ τῆς ἀνήκω:
 κορυφὴ-γράμματα, ἀετὸς ἢ ἥλιος;
 ¿Águila o sol?

Today I wrestle with a single word.
 The one that belongs to me, the one to which I belong:
 a mountain peak–letters,
 eagle or sun?
 ¿Águila o sol?
