Such stories have now a mythical or total (unanalysable) effect, an effect quite independent of the findings of Comparative Folklore, and one which it cannot spoil or explain; they open a door on Other Time, and if we pass through, though only for a moment, we stand outside our own time, outside Time itself, maybe.
Tales historias abren una puerta a Otro Tiempo, y si la cruzamos, aunque sólo sea por un instante, nos quedamos fuera de nuestra propia época, acaso fuera del Tiempo mismo.
