Excerpt from Gil
Cuentos de todos colores, esos son los míos; y ya que no hermosos, cual lo deseaba Taine, tendrán por lo menos la policromia que tanto encarecía en los de Chaucer. Si ellos proporcionan algún placer al que los lee, habrán llenado su misión en la joven literatura de mi patria y si revelan al crítico la evolución literaria de mi espíritu, habrán cumplido otra más alta, superando mis esperanzas.
