Kristallzucker: Die Bewohnerinnen und Bewohner von Guamaní waren früher immer stolz auf ihre Stadt und auf ihr Tal gewesen.
Das Geschenk: Niemand erwartete von Merceditas Cáceres, dass sie am Tag, als Carlotta Rodríguez aus der Herz-Jesu-Schule geworfen wurde, ihre Seidenschärpe über die Türklinke hängen, ihr Amulett mit dem Engelschor in den Klingelbeutel werfen und Arm in Arm mit ihrer Freundin durch das Portal schreiten würde, mit erhobenem Kopf und ohne einen Blick nach rückwärts zu verschwenden, mit jener Geste absoluter Verachtung, die bei Anghörigen ihrer Klasse so gängig ist.
Der Spiegel Isoldes: Von der Aussichtsplatte über Santa Cruz aus konnte man die Karibische See dort wie eine silberne Klinge blitzen sehen, wo die Zuckerrohrfelder mit dem Horizont verschmolzen.
Hauptmann Candelarios heldenhafte letzte Schlacht: Die Ereignisse, die wir nun berichten werden, trugen sich zu, als die Metropole begann, sich vom Blut des Lamms des Heiligen Johannes, das sanftmütig und zahm in der Flagge unseres Landes sass, reinzuwaschen.
