Reflections by Comrade Fidel

 

Nicolás Guillén

 

 

To your health, Guevara!

 

Or better still, from the very depths of the Americas: Wait for us!

 

We will depart with you.

 

We want to die so as to live as you have died;

 

and live as you live on.

 

Che: Commander and friend.

 

 

That was the beautiful final stanza of a poem written by the National Poet.
