ʻO ka Moemoeā Mua kahi silva, kahi mele lōʻihi lōʻihi: wehewehe ia i ka ʻike mehameha o ka ʻuhane e hele ma waena o waho a me loko, ka ʻuhane e piʻi i luna i ka ʻike a ʻo ka hopena, pau i ka hāʻule.
ʻO ia, paradoxically, kahi hihiʻo e hoʻonā iā ia iho i kahi ʻike ʻole. No laila ʻo Sor Juana i haʻi aku ai i ka huakaʻi o kona ʻuhane ma o nā ʻaoʻao supralunar i ka wā e hiamoe ana kona kino, kahi poʻomanaʻo e like me ko ke kāne ponoʻī a he ʻano manaʻo ʻepekema a me nā ʻano moʻokalaleo like ʻole me Plato, Xenophon, Dante i kāna Divine Comedy, ka ʻuhane hele malihini. ʻo ka Middle Ages, ʻo Kepler's Somnium a, ma hope, ʻo Kircher's Iter exstaticum, i hoʻohui ʻia me nā hōʻike ʻē aʻe he nui.
ʻOiai ʻo ke ao mau loa a Sor Juana e ʻōlelo nei i kēia mele, ʻo ia ke ke ao palena ʻole o Ptolemaic astronomy, ʻo ka manaʻo noʻonoʻo e wehewehe nei ʻo ia no ka vertigo ma mua o ka palena ʻole. Hoʻomaha ʻia ma ka piko o kāna pyramid noʻonoʻo i hana ʻia i nā manaʻo - wahi a ʻOtavio Paz - ʻike ka ʻuhane he ala hohonu nā alanui a me nā pali pau ʻole. Inā hiki iā mākou ke uhaʻi i ka ʻike o ka mele ua hiki iā mākou ke ʻōlelo, i kahi ala e, maʻalahi maʻalahi, i ka Dream mua e haʻi pehea, ʻoiai e hiamoe ana ke kino, piʻi ka ʻuhane i ka ʻaoʻao kiʻekiʻe; Ma laila ʻo ia i hihiʻo nui ai, ākea, a ʻālohilohi hoʻi e aniani a makapō iā ia. Pane maila, ma hope o kēlā obfuscation, makemake ʻo ia e piʻi hou, i kēia manawa i kēlā me kēia ʻāpana, akā ʻaʻole hiki iā ia; ke kānalua ʻo ia i kahi ala ʻē aʻe e puka ai ka lā a ala iā ia
He mea koʻikoʻi kēia mele i kā Sor Juana hana - ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia iho i ka pane iā Sor Filotea ʻaʻole ʻo ia i kākau no ka leʻaleʻa, koe wale nō kahi "ʻāpana pepa a lākou i kapa ai ʻo The Dream" - ʻaʻole wale no ka mea e hoʻohui i ka mea kiʻekiʻe a ka mea kākau i hoʻopau ai. kona mau kūpuna a me nā kūpuna akā no ka mea hana ʻo ia i ke ʻano mele a me ka akeakamai, kekahi o nā kumuhana nui o ka manaʻo kanaka: ka hiki ʻole o ka ʻike holoʻokoʻa, ka makehewa o ka hoʻāʻo ʻana e kiʻi i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻoi loa, ka liʻiliʻi o ka ʻuhane ma mua o ka naʻauao.
