Not only is Galaxy eye but different, delivery of the world, someone who really sees from day to the stars, like Don Quixote, lighting on end. And moreover, how the world syllabicate in his writings, to glimpse the primeval chaos, and the love of the whole man who one day will come after we are quartered. "

And yet, Gonzalo Rojas, most recently in , in what could be a nod to Matta, who confessed in an interview that he identified with Sancho Panza:
