To thee our earliest morning song, To thee our hearts full powers belong; And thou, O Holy One, prevent Each following action and intent. As shades at morning flee away, And night before the star of day; So each transgression of the night Be purged by thee, celestial Light! Cut off, we pray thee, each offense, And every lust of thought and sense: That by their lips who thee adore Thou mayst be praised forevermore. Grant this, O Father ever One With Christ, thy sole-begotten Son, And Holy Ghost, whom all adore, Reigning and blest forevermore. Amen.

UNAMUNO ERA UN BUEN PENSADOR Y MAL ESCRITOR

Unamuno no es tan buen escritor como parece. Sus novelas no hay por donde cogerlas pero cría fama y échate a dormir. La fama de Unamuno se la dio el encuentro o desencuentro que tuvo en la unoversidad salmantina con el general Millán Astrain de donde salió bajo la proteción de los falangistas de la escolta de doña Carmen Polo de Franco. Un profesor mío de Retórica el P. Penagos que Dios guarde decía que Unamuno era " una mona " y no precisamente la Mona Lisa. Empecé a leer su libro sobre su mocedad en Bilbao y hube de dejarlo, que ya es decir porque mi afición a la literatura data de muy antiguo. Ahora los zelotes lo encumbran con una pelicula sobre su exilio en Lazarote. No estuvo mal aquel ostracismo porque seguía cobrando sus haberes catedráticos, pero resultó una bomba publicitaria. Desde entonces, desde Unamuno, García Lorca, Machado, Miguel Hernandez y otros, nos hemos convertido en metecos en esta España nuestra vocinglera, desmemoriada, descamisada, gobernada por un don Tancredo y una "little woman" que no alcanza ni el medio metro de altura. En fin, todo un esperpento. Unamuno era una mona. Mal poeta, los versos no cuadran y no tenía oído para percibir la música que ha de acompañar a la prosa. No le niego la categoría de pensador. Su mejor frase:  "vivimos en un país de rencores" Gran verdad mientras miro para el cuadro de "Los Borrachos" de Velazquez

FRANCO SE LLEVABA BIEN CON LOS HEBREOS Y EL ISLAM. MILLÁN ASTRAY ERA OTRO GRAN GENERAL PERO MUY DISTINTO A FRANCO. AMIGOS COMPLEMENTARIOS

FRANCO Y MILLÁN ASTRAY DOS GALLEGOS MUY DISTINTOS PERO COMPLEMENTARIOS

 

Para entender la figura de Millán Astray habría que leer la obra de Eduardo Zamacois  Los Vivos muertos reflejo de las penalidades de los internos en el penal de san Miguel de los Reyes valenciano del que su padre fue alcaide. Resuenan las voces de “con todo” antes de la conducción y se escucha el maullar de los gatos sobre los tejados sin libertad o el silencioso estruendo de las micciones sobre los zambullos o el andar cansino de los presos hacia la galería los brazos péndulos. La falta de hembra que fomentaba la homosexualidad tras las rejas. Al desenterrar las “cantineras” como institución quiso volver a la tradición de las legiones romanas y de los tercios antañones españoles que salían a campaña con sus propias mujeres en retaguardia. Don José Millán astray quiso redimir, era un soñador con alma de artistas y con dotes para la elocuencia y el teatro. Una hermana suya, Peregrina Millán Terreros, escribió una zarzuela muy famosa en los años treinta La Tonta el Bote. Sus aires de farándula y el donaire donjuanesco le hicieron muy amigo de Alfonso XIII al que según se dice le arrimaba las putas. Franco en eso era muy diferente. No se le conocieron aventuras galantes y no fumaba ni bebía. Millán era un monárquico a machamartillo. Franquito un poco más caviloso pero leal a esa monarquía aunque una parte de sus hermanos eran republicanos.

 Les dio una segunda oportunidad a los convictos en la Legión. Sentía una admiración hacia su padre, envuelto en el tenebroso caso del crimen de Fuencarral, y del que heredó algunas de sus virtudes y sus defectos; longanimidad y benevolencia hacia los que andan al margen de la Ley precisamente a cargo de aquellos que son los custodios de la Ley, y un cierto relajamiento de las costumbres.

Por otro lado profesaba una veneración hacia su progenitor el compostelano don José Millán Astray hasta el punto de que cambiaría sus apellidos apeando el de su madre Terreros por el de su padre don Pepito. Al parecer las relaciones con su madre doña Pilar Terreros Segade las relaciones no fueron tan fluidas y puede decirse que llegaron a ser traumáticas porque ésta cuando don José Millán Astray  fue suspendido de empleo y sueldo a causa del aludido caso del crimen de Fuencarral en el cual no tuvo arte ni parte sino una de las criadas de la casa de los Astray lo abandonó. En el caso de Francisco Franco el afecto era a mano contraria. Veneraba a su madre y sin embargo sus relaciones con su padre don Nicolás el aposentador de la Armada uno de los últimos de Filipinas y a cuyo entierro dicen que no acudió se enfriaron toda la vida. El fundador de la legión (Coruña 1879- Madrid 1954). y el caudillo ( Ferrol 1892- El Pardo 1975) se llevaban trece años. En punto a valentía no cabe hablar pues al soldado español el valor se le supone. Sin embargo, cuentan los cronistas que en esta fraternidad de armas el arrojo de Franco era mucho más frío y calculador rodeado por un halo místico religioso que los moros llamaban “Baraka” y que para los marroquíes esta indemnidad frente a las balas le convirtieron en un semidiós. Supo ganárselos y en esto estuvo la clave de su victoria en la guerra de España. El general Astray detestaba a los musulmanes y llegó a decir que “podremos hacer de un filipino- el cubano ya es por sangre y por lengua- un español porque son cabales y nobles como nosotros pero de un moro no: es feroz, traidor, fanático acérrimo de su religión”. Hablaba un veterano de las tres guerras coloniales que tuvo el imperio español: la de Filipinas, Cuba, y la del Rif que costaron más de doscientas mil vidas. La estrella de Franco empezó a iluminarse después de la batalla de Alhucemas y la de Millán declinó. Las tres heridas recibidas le volverían sino medroso al menos cauteloso. Sobre todo al heroico manco la de la cabeza le dejaría como secuelas vértigos y fortísimos dolores que sólo podía aplacar más que con aspirinas con “peñascaró”. Todo un legionario y esto también le ocurría al general Moscardó. Francisco Franco jamás probó una gota de alcohol, era ordenancista, enigmático, simpático pero nada cercano.

Pese a tales diferencias eran complementarios y gallegos. Unidos por el amor de España y por aquel par de huevos de la famosa comida de campaña que le dieron al dictador Primo de Rivera el hombre que mediante una retirada pacificó a Marruecos en Der Rifién. Franco llevaba dentro un escritor fracasado pero orgullo de la raza y Astray era un histrión. Ambos se sienten taumaturgos y creen en la resurrección de España. Esta amistad que se fue enfriando en cierto modo fue fundamental porque el fundador de la Legión le echó  redaños otorgando el mando único en la persona de su paisano venciendo la resistencia de Mola y de Cabanellas reputado general masón. Tanto uno como otro detestaban a la masonería causante de los males de España. Tanto la sublevación de Maceo como la de Rizal fue pagada por los tocineros de la Logia. Ahora los masones ils sont par tout en esta desgraciado país. Por eso no les perdonan. En Marruecos, Franco (no hay peor cuña que la de la misma madera) con los judíos que sufragaron los gastos del alzamiento desde Londres – y de esto tendrían que hablar los biógrafos de Luis Bolín- jugó hábilmente al gato y al ratón. Don Juan March reputado y rico banquero chueta puso la pasta.

TRUMP Y EL DIABLO

TRUMP ¿HUELE A AZUFRE?

 

Si hay que creer un informe de Der Spiegel, la Casa Blanca huele a azufre. Steven Bannon es un satanista al igual que la Pailing pues si que estamos listos y acaba de ser nombrado jefe del estaf.

El poderoso semanario germano nos cuenta estas lindezas inter alia y uno que es de la raza judía raza bendita y maldita tendrá que sacar la cara por mi gente, por más que haya zurrado la badana a los sionistas que no cuadran en mi pensamiento tendré que sacar la cara por Israel, rezar la Shema que rezo  casi todos los días, y ponerme un trozo de la Escritura sobre mis sienes cosa para lo cual tengo ciertos remilgos.
Dicen que, Trump aparte de dar trabajo a satanistas, racistas, homófobos y contra las chicas ad lib, feministas del despelote, ateístas, Kukluxklan y toda esa cuadrilla de la extrema derecha, y toda una cáfila de populistas, todos en primera fila, pero si lo dice el Spiegel... espejo de buen periodismo pues habrá que acatarlo pero no me parece el nuevo presidente USA tan poco inteligente (su mujer la bella Melania y su suegro pertenecen al elenco de Israel) como liarse a trompazos contra el lobby judío que son en América los que mandan aunque reconozco que los judíos tuvieron muchos problemas con Obama y mucho más con los clintong-guasington, que los han dejado a todos en nombre de la democracia con el culo al aire. Pero bueno uno es defensor de los pobres y débiles misión especifica del pueblo elegido -que también tiene sus telarañas y delirios, ventanos al cierzo y al solano porque también son gente, hombres y sujeto al error que nos acompaña a los mortales oda la vida- y tendré que formar cuadrilla con toda la basca de los multimedia que ladran con el Rubio Archimillonario. Largo nos lo fiáis. Yo pienso que eso de sentar armisticio con Pedro Botero debe de ser un farol y que Dios me perdone. Veremos a ver.

Joaquin Díaz 1970 - De la picaresca tradicional

LA PRENSA ALEMANA NO DICE NI MEDIA PALABRA DEL ENCUENTRO MERKEL RAJOY

leo la prensa germana ni media linea dedicada a Rajoy. Frau Merkel tiene muchos problemas. Somos un país importante... señor Rajoy, siga haciendo el paseillo su señoría con su cohorte de aduladores. España se ha convertido en (un país señor tengo ganas de hacer un pís) pequeñito no mide ni medio metro. Es de las dimensiones de nuestra vice, corta de talla aunque con muy  mala leche

Padre de la poesía

cuyo venero más íntimo agotaste

tus versos busco en esta noche

de difíciles soledades

sangra el alma mía

riberas de aguardiente

que de Alcalá vengo

y Alcalá visito

donde fui proclamado

letra herido

honoris causa

nigromante de saberes

de todo un poco

una bosta de vaca prinhó mi manteo

recorro las aulas tristes

que tu estudiaste

refugiome en tus arduas soledades

aceñas del Guadalquivir

son más azules que las del Henares

vierten agua los azudes

y tú miras ensotanado

ojo avizor

llegan las ninfas

encaramadas vuelan la fachada

torre de la catedral

ibas a coro a echar la siesta

se oye el alboroto

de un bautizo

te miro en el claroscuro

de Velásquez

eras hombres de sombras y claridades

todo contrastes

nadie cantó mejor a la Sultana de las ciudades

Córdoba lejana y sola

tomaste su acento ceceante

al son del agua en las piedras

al son del viento en las ramas

cantaste al toro

soñabas en minotauros

el gerifalte, escándalo bizarro del aire

no son todo ruiseñores

Fuiste señor del aire

en tus versos yo aprendí

a mirar
