“Muy lejos, había sonado una trompa de caracol. Lo que resultaba sorprendente, ahora, era que al lento mugido de esa concha respondían otros en los montes y en las selvas. Y otros, rastreantes, más hacia el mar, hacia las alquerías de Millot. Era como si todas la porcelanas de las costa, todos los lambíes indios, todos los abribones que servían para sujetar las puertas, todos los caracoles que yacían, solitarios y petrificados, en el tope de los Molesse hubieran puesto a cantar en coro.”
-Alejo Carpentier, “El Llamado de Los Caracoles,” El Reino de Este Mundo
