“…Todo ello, sin olvidar el asombroso aggiornamento al que el poeta somete su discurso contemplativo, que lo lleva a dialogar con la astrofísica y la cuántica de Einstein y Niels Bohr, con el Tao te Ching de Lao Tzé, con cosmólogos como Boecio o Fray Luis de León, con el enigmático Heráclito y con las ideas evolucionistas de Darwin.
