The sonnets and the tenths of Un testigo fugaz y disfrazado (1985) by Severo Sarduy, in whose analysis this article concentrates, function as an oblique and parodic reading, as a curious retombée of the Spanish mysticism. From this analysis, this article tries to evaluate the implications of that original reading machine built by the Caribbean writer based on the "mariposeo" formula.
