Este subir de la tierra y bajar del cielo se le presenta al autor, tras la muerte repentina de su hijo, como una vía doble y simultánea para poder aliviar su dolor y acceder a la sabiduría. Paralelamente esta imagen le sugiere diferentes formas de pensar, una clara y sencilla, que poco a poco se va haciendo poesía, y otra, emocional, compleja e incierta, que se va convirtiendo en filosofía.
