The old man doesn’t notice its newness, nor the flutter of wings, though his eyesight is still good and his eyeglasses remain on. He says to himself, guessing, 'The dragonfly’s wings are almost transparent and move like this,' imagining he’s talking out loud and making eights with his right index finger when he isn’t. He’s only remembering."</p>— from “Arandas” by Luis Filepe Lomeli, tr. Katherine Sutton
