Poets leave us all that blank space so that we can read in it all the things the poem says and that are not written. Therefore we must conclude that, despite that, in fact, we consider poetry, from a typographical point of view, it behaves like solid, it presents certain gaseous qualities, such as the ability to spread to fill an entire container. Then we could specify better by saying that poetry is, typographically, a solid that evaporates on its own.

The meaning of this [prologue] is none other than inviting the reader to read the written and unwritten parts of the book, and it is perceived that the text and that white mass that surrounds it fit perfectly, as a mold and its sculpture. It will be because s/he is reading poetry, sublime poetry.
