Cantú se embarco en una travesía Troyana  que duraría tres décadas , pero que para bien, formaría en el, todo el carácter y el temple que se requiere para ser todo un Maestro: Sus largas charlas de Café en el Paris de Montparnasse junto con Renato Leduc, Alfonso Reyes , José Moreno Villa , Cesar Vallejo, Antonin Artaud , André Breton, poco a poco ilustrarían gran parte de su obra.

St. Valentine's Day began as a liturgical celebration of one or more early Christian saints named Valentinus. Several martyrdom stories were invented for the various Valentines that belonged to February 14, and added to later martyrologies.

A popular hagiographical account of Saint Valentine of Rome states that he was imprisoned for performing weddings for soldiers who were forbidden to marry and for ministering to Christians, who were persecuted under the Roman Empire. According to legend, during his imprisonment, he healed the daughter of his jailer, Asterius. An embellishment to this story states that before his execution he wrote her a letter signed "Your Valentine" as a farewell.
