A veces una esperanza loca le hacía creer que allá, en aquella plaza triste, estaba el hombre fuerte para respetarle, buena para amarle, un hombre que venía a buscarla, porque adivinaba los tesoros de ternura que guardaba en su alma; un hombre que iba a contarle, en voz baja y suave, los misterios inefables del amor. (Águeda, Pío Baroja 1872-1956)
