      Mañana por la mañana verá usted cruzar por esta misma plaza al fantasma de un hombre gordo que repite de memoria pasajes recién traducidos de Las mil y una noches, del brazo de un joven de pajarita, chaleco con leontina discreta y mirada estrábica o quizá le toque cruzar este mismo espacio mirando exactamente lo de hoy… porque todos los tiempos caben y se cruzan aquí por donde entra y sale el reloj más puntual del planeta.
      (please add an English translation of this quotation)
