to glean
En la ciudad y en el campo, ayer como hoy es siempre el mismo gesto modesto de espigar.
In the towns today as in the fields yesterday gleaners still humbly stoop to glean.
Espigar hechos, hazañas, espigar informaciones.
To glean facts, acts and deeds, to glean information.
Como no tengo mucha memoria lo que espigo resume mis viajes.
And for forgetful me, it's what I have gleaned that tells where I've been.
Son indicaciones, trazos que recojo de la naturaleza que espigo, en efecto y que serán mis cuadros.
Each object gives a direction, each is a line, picked up here and there, indeed gleaned, and which become my paintings.
Yo iba con un gran delantal. Espigábamos, recogíamos las espigas de trigo las bellas espigas.
I would put my big apron on and we'd go gleaning ears of wheat, lovely ears we would find.
Espigador, espigadora, el que espiga.
A gleaner is one who gleans.
Claro que yo he espigado.
Yes, I've always gleaned.
