Thus says the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel: Reform your ways and your deeds, so that I may remain with you in this place. Put not your trust in the deceitful words: This is the temple of the Lord! The temple of the Lord! The temple of the Lord! Only if you thoroughly reform your ways and your deeds; if each of you deals justly with his neighbor; if you no longer oppress the resident alien, the orphan, and the widow; if you no longer shed innocent blood in this place, or follow strange gods to your own harm, will I remain with you in this place, in the land which I gave your fathers long ago and forever,’ says the Lord almighty.

Luke 4:38-44 At that time, Jesus rose from the synagogue and entered Simon’s house. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering from a great fever, and they besought Him for her. And standing over her He rebuked the fever, and it left her; and she rose at once and began to wait on them. Now when the sun was setting, all who had persons sick with various diseases brought them to Him. And He laid His hands upon each of them and cured them. And devils also came forth from many, crying out and saying, You are the Son of God. And He rebuked them, and did not permit them to speak, because they knew that He was the Christ. Now when it was day, He went out and departed into a desert place. And the crowds were seeking after Him, and they came to Him, and tried to detain Him, that He might not depart from them. But He said to them, To the other towns also I must proclaim the kingdom of God, for this is why I have been sent. And He was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee. R. Praise be to Thee, O Christ. S. By the words of the Gospel may our sins be blotted out.

All things were made by Him, and without Him was made nothing that was made: in Him was life, and the life was the Light of men; and the Light shineth in darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man came for a witness, to testify concerning the Light, that all might believe through Him. He was not the Light, but he was to testify concerning the Light. That was the true Light, which enlighteneth every man that cometh into this world. He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. But as many as received Him to them He gave power to become sons of God, to them that believe in His Name, who are born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. Here all kneel. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us: and we saw His glory, the glory as of the Only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

Lúculo nuevo sibaritismo

Andan los espías vaticanos mordiendo nuestros calcaños mientras la sociedad se entrega a los sibaritismos refinados de la nueva cocina y a mí lo que me gusta es el pote pues no soy un afrancesado como Larra al que en tiempos de Franco se agarraban los periodistas clavo ardiendo y wishfulthinking. Larra era un mediocre escribía mal con pluma envenenada y acabó como acabó como acabó el pistoletazo de la calle Santa Clara. Estamos un poco tristes con lo de la bomba en Londres y los del telediario se ponen trágicos mejor leer hundirse en las páginas del Satiricón para narrar los cien platos que se metieron entre pecho aquellos romanos de triclinio y vomitorio que se dejaban tocar la lira por los embasicetas pues la mariconería en Roma era signo de refinamiento. El plato preferido era el jabalí que se condimentaba de mil maneras. El indefectible aper o jabalí de aquellas comilonas que duraban dos días con sus noches. Comer hasta reventar y la del pobre antes reventar que sobre. Cigüeñas golondrinas tencas de rana testículos de rinoceronte. La matriz de la cerda virgen era manjar refinado como afrodisiaco todo regado con vino de Salerno. Los romanos tenían la fea costumbre heredada de los griegos de aguar el vino y algunos comensales necesitaban un cántaro para mitigar los ardores del garum un plato de pescado típico parecido al bacalao y al curadillo. La ideología de aquellas altas clases sociales que banqueteaban entre efebos y meretrices con grandes cenas que derivaban en bacanal bien se expresa en el Satiricón:

Ay pobres de nosotros tristes mortales que nada somos y en polvo acabaremos.

Vivamos pues en tanto que  Aqueronte se demore

Para llevarnos al Orco

Este sentido de la existencia parece trasladarse al día de hoy. La aspiración a la trascendencia choca con lo intranscendente de nuestro vivir aunque no nos vendría mal un poco de paganismo para curar el ego violento de la intolerancia fanática de cuantos se creen en posesión de la verdad. Nada está escrito, hermanos. Nadie tiene la última palabra. Releer al epicúreo Petronio  no vendría mal  en medio de tanto desmelene, por más que  “de quid nimis”; todo con moderación. A Larra ha tiempo que lo desterré de mis libros de cabecera. Lo tengo por ñoño y desfasado mal que le pese a algún que otro autor aúlico

CAPITULO INEDITO DE MI LIBRO EL LAZARILLO FUE ESCRITO POR UN SEGOVIANO

CAPITULO I QUIEREN HACERLE FRAILE EN ZARAGOZA

LÁZARO EMBARCOSE EN LA ARMADA. HÉROE DE LEPANTO

 

 

Bien prevenido de calamidades y desgracias y sin mirar atrás, aun sabiendas que poco adelanta quien mudando de fortuna no muda el carácter y perseguido por tantos desconsuelos y desdichas que curten a todo castellano miré para derecha e izquierda, cerciorándome de que no tenía donde caerme muerto sin amor de las mujeres y sin “güeltra” [1] pero con bastante peñascaró[2] en los bandullos viva el vino y las mujeres que esto nunca  faltaban, tomé el camino de Zaragoza, amable, noble y heroica ciudad, que dispensa su hospitalidad al vagabundo. Donde supe había un convento que socorría a los menesterosos. Salió un fraile de la Merced a recibirme y me mandó soplar por un cañuto:

—           Muchacho ¿adonde vas?

—           A buscar la vida y donde me mande su reverencia.

—                       Pues sopla en esta bujeta. Quiero saber si eres limpio de linaje.

—                       ¡Qué cosas manda fray Pedro! pero lo haré aunque os participo que vengo de gente de alcurnia, por más que desafortunada. Mi padre murió sirviendo al rey en Argel. Era soldado a las órdenes del gran Cardenal Cisneros.

Soplé como me dijo y viéndome apto para el ingreso, me mandó beber de un jarrillo en el que nadaban las ninfas de aguardiente. No pudo ser mejor mi entrada en aquel recinto sagrado. Me llevó a una estancia en la cual descansaban otros menesterosos y peregrinos. Era un crujía o dormitorio corrido; los internos pegaban voces y hacían chanzas, a humanidad olía la estancia. Dijome el religioso ser alfaqueque por oficio y de haber redimido no pocos cautivos cristianos del turco. "Lázaro, la caridad es mi oficio", me dijo y yo pensé para mis adentros que ésta empieza por uno mismo, son osar rechistar. 

Mal no empezaba la cosa. Entrégame ropa nueva; una muda y unos chapines que los míos andaban muy rotos. Así, como también, consejos de ser bueno me dio, y de guardar continencia y seguir por el camino de la virtud.

  —Padre mío, ser bueno lo soy en lo que el mundo abarca, pero otros no lo son tanto por lo que he de vérmelas a todas horas con malandrines y gente del bronce. Si te haces de miel y no te defiendes, palmas. Siempre estoy sobre aviso y durmiendo de un ojo leporino. Estate atento y a lo que estás, que en cualquier instante podrá saltar la liebre. Ojo, Pablos que asan carne.

—Eso no digas, hijo, callades —exclamó el fraile que se llamaba fray Raimundo—que es ofender a Dios con pecado de presunción. No está bien la melancolía y la desesperación en un cristiano. Sursum corda. Arriba los corazones.

En estas, se arrancó por lo solemne y cantó el prefacio de Pascua con un inmenso vozarrón más fuerte que el tañer de las campanas de la torre de San Gil que estaba al lado. Los allí presente cayeron de rodillas en la creencia de que bajaba el espíritu santo, mismamente, al cenáculo pero yo, muy tuno, guardé mis reservas al respecto porque la sabiduría de la vida me ha enseñado a dudar de la cordialidad visceral e iterativa que se despierta de repente.

Bueno soy yo, desde cuando el ciego me dio dio la cabezada contra el Toro de la Puente en Salamanca, para oler el poste de los engaños y en efecto pronto adiviné que era el aguardiente con que rompió el ayuno aquel bendito y rompió a cantar alborazdo por contrapunto gregoriano. Con todo y eso, reparé en el consejo del Libro de la Sabiduría de que el vino alegra el corazón de los mortales y no me pareció un mal hombre el mercedario.

Fui al Pilar a besar la santa columna. Oí tres misas y pasé a la Seo a contemplar el retablo de las maravillas, aquel coro bien labrado, aquellas imágenes de jaspe con estatuas de todos los santos de la parroquia. El primero san Valero ventolero al que los esbirros cortaron la lengua por confesar a Cristo y es maravilla en aquel obispo que, aun deslenguado, empezó a cantar salmos y el Tedeum. Por eso le llaman ventolero porque su nombre es fuerte y tenaz y tozudo, nunca se rinda el aragonés, como el cierzo de Zaragoza que sopla desde el Moncayo.

En otra capilla se veneraba la memoria de san Pedro de Arbués al que gente de mi raza apuñalaron por la espalda cuando alzaba a Dios en la Eucaristía y en la contigua se alzaba la imagen de Dominguito del Val vestido con la sotana encarnada y el roquete blanco de los monaguillos de la seo, voces puras y blancas y hasta es posible que en coro participase algún castrado según es costumbre en las escolanías.

A este pobre niño el rabí Samuel lo echó mano un día de Viernes Santo, hubo en la sinagoga una tenida y lo mandaron crucificar. La sangre derramada se vertió por toda la sinova pero no manchó un adarme de la sotana y la esclavina que vestía el infantito. Milagro, pues, tuvimos.  El espantoso crimen ritual me hizo avergonzarme de mis antepasados. Ser cristiano nuevo no significa ser criminal aunque alguna fechoría haya hecho a lo largo de mis días y alguna judiada de más pero matar y forzar mujeres nunca. Cuando es picante el aire y azuza el deseo bebo el vino del sacramento y ando al fuelle por las tascas y tugurios donde el amor se compra con dinero. Contemplé además, el atril de oro desde el cual proclamaba el evangelio Rodrigo Borja que llegó a cardenal después de haber pertenecido al cabildo de aquella catedral, luego a papa. Pero los judíos de Roma lo destronaron y despojaron de la tiara. Sic transit gloria mundi.

Mala sangre corre por tus venas, Lazarillo, y no es del azul de los godos. Bobadas. Toda la sangre humana es de color rojo. Yo les digo a los que me acometen mentándome a la madre que no todos somos igual y que, en cualquier familia, los hay buenos y los hay malos. Como cada cual y todos tenemos un ventano al cierzo y algunos hasta el solano.

Fray Raimundo me tomó cierta ley. Querría que yo fuese fraile pues pronto apreció mi gusto por las cosas divinas. A tal efecto me mandó con un lego al monasterio de Veruela. Pero a mí la rigurosa vida de los cistercienses no me probaba y aparte de eso seria incapaz de guardar el silencio monacal pues ya sabes, lector amigo, estoy por admitir que no dejo a la sin hueso en paz siendo, incapaz de callar ni debajo del agua.

Pero admiré la grandeza y solemnidad de aquel recinto en un valle a la solana del Moncayo tan cerca del cielo y tan lejos del mundanal ruido, donde se cantaba al atardecer el Oficio Parvo y la Salve Regina, el himno más venerable de la liturgia de latinidad.

Pues, habréis de saber, amigos, soy gran devoto de Nuestra Señora, a Quien me encomiendo en mis alegrías y trabajos y no me acuesto ninguna noche sin rezar mis Avemarías. le encargo a Ella me saque de mis ruindades y peligros.

El veronense guardaba los restos mortales de un santo abad que era hijo natural del Rey Católico, Hernando de Aragón. Visité su tumba policromada en la sala del capítulo. Los monjes al lego y a mí nos dispensaron una buena despedida, cuando hubieron noticia de nuestra partida. Metieron pan vino cebolla y algo de tasajo para el camino en nuestras alforjas y nos regalaron un mulo cojo pero voluntarioso, con la condición de que cuando llegásemos a Cesar Augusta lo estabuláramos en el convento mercedario, dieran parte al prior, y éste lo devolviera a los monjes blancos. No fue así. Lo vendimos en Daroca y el lego y yo convenimos en decir que el animal se había muerto de hambre por el camino y así lo mandamos a decir al prior que no nos hizo mucho caso. Yo metí en la faltriquera tres escudos de oro que sisé al abad cuando vino abrazarme la despedida (al darme la bendición le afané la talega como buen rapador de bolsa y diestro en el oficio del hurto que soy) porque ya había diquelado el lugar donde guardaba la bolsa cuando decía misa al volverse con el ite missa est,  y soy tan expeditivo cuando tres me vienen al mohíno como cuando hay gueltra a la vista que mis manos no se vuelven sino huéspedes y mis manos  ganzúas.

Plega a la Providencia que aquel santo varón no me guardara rencor por la viallanía aunque de prevenidos se hacen los arteros. Sé que anduvo luego en pesquisas y adivinó por conjeturas la maula.

Cuando quiso avisar a los gurós[3], el donado y yo ya estábamos por  Cariñena.

De esta manera vinieron en nada mis propósitos de la enmienda pues soy voluble como la flor del almendro que se marchita con la helada y lo que es hoy esplendor, mañana se vuelve mustio. Sobre poco más o menos así es mi virtud.

Y creo que no mudaré de condición ni de oficio hasta que la nefasta Atrapos, una de las moiras, me corte el hilo de la existencia. Pésame mucho sin embargo de las injusticias y los atropellos a pobres y desheredados por el poderoso.
