As a man of letters, I'm being annoyed, insulted, but I swear that for nothing in the world would have made me change my home country or have any other history than the history of our forbears, such as it was given us by God."
Como a un literato, alporízanme, oféndenme, mais xuro que por nada no mundo quixera mudar a miña patria ou ter outra historia que non fose a historia dos nosos devanceiros, tal como nola doou Deus".
