………
Debieron ser hombres como este
Que yace en paz,
trabajador de humildes menesteres
o, tal vez, mercader. Un dia
le fue comunicada
cierta posibilidad de sobrevivir.
(se ignora si fue sacrificado
por semejante crimen).
Sin embargo murio; es decir, supo
La verdad. Piadosamente
Repito estas palabras
Sobre la piedra escritas
Con igual voluntad:
“ ALEGRE PERMANECE, TACIO,
AMIGO MIO,
NADIE ES INMORTAL:”
(Angel Valente, “Una inscription” )
Susanita Y Rodrigo Y Perez Y VinancoYHierro
(I hope you will enjoy the desolate account of contemporary social life and
interactions in the divine language of
Angel Valente, who far from accepting it, always tries to find remedies to
our daily dreada).
