Author's inscription in ink on front flyleaf: "No! I am that song! One must accept, absorb, give back, become oneself a symbol! Juan Ponce de Leon is passed! He is resolved into the thousand moods of beauty that make unhappiness--color of the sunset, of tomorrow's dawn, breath of the great Trade wind--sunlight on grass, an insect's song, the rustle of e of leaves, an ant's ambitions. (in an ecstasy) Oh, Luis, I begin to know eternal youth! I have found my Fountain! O Fountain of Eternity, take back this drop, my soul!
