" 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE PRESENTATION OF THE NOBEL PRIZE FOR LITERATURE WRITER OCTAVIO PAZ "
10 - DECEMBER - 2010

Octavio Paz probably would have been pleased to learn that the Mexican Postal Service printed a stamp bearing his likeness. Mail entrusted many things - poems, love letters, original Libyans, reports, contracts, protests, "many letters sent under cover of a postage stamp over his life.
Amazed to see his indefatigable spirit as a correspondent, especially when you consider that never stopped reading, constantly writing essays and articles for newspapers and magazines, I could spend hours on the composition or the correction of a poem - as well as translation, when he was passionate about the work of another author.
