Benedíxit te Dóminus in virtúte sua, quia per te ad níhilum redégit inimícos nostros. Benedícta es tu, fília, a Dómino, Deo excélso, præ ómnibus muliéribus super terram. Benedíctus Dóminus, qui creávit coelum et terram: quia hódie nomen tuum ita magnificávit, ut non recédat laus tua de ore hóminum, qui mémores fúerint virtútis Dómini in ætérnum, pro quibus non pepercísti ánimæ tuæ propter angústias et tribulatiónem géneris tui, sed subvenísti ruínæ ante conspéctum Dei nostri.

The Lord has blessed you by His power, Who by you has brought our enemies to nought. Blessed are you, O daughter, by the Lord the Most High God, above all women upon the earth. Blessed be the Lord Who made heaven and earth, because He has so magnified your name this day, that your praise shall not depart out of the mouth of men, who shall be mindful of the power of the Lord forever: for you have not spared your life by reason of the distress and tribulation of your people, but have prevented our ruin in the presence of our God.

Graduale
Dolorósa et lacrimábilis es, Virgo María, stans juxta Crucem Dómini Jesu, Fílii tui, Redemptóris.
V. Virgo Dei Génetrix, quem totus non capit orbis, hoc crucis fert supplícium, auctor vitæ factus homo.

Tractus. Stabat sancta María, coeli Regína et mundi Dómina, juxta Crucem Dómini nostri Jesu Christi dolorósa.
Thren 1:12
O vos omnes, qui tránsitis per viam, atténdite et vidéte, si est dolor sicut dolor meus.

Sequentia
Stabat Mater dolorósa
Juxta Crucem lacrimósa,
Dum pendébat Fílius.

Cujus ánimam geméntem,
Contristátam et doléntem
Pertransívit gládius.

O quam tristis et afflícta
Fuit illa benedícta
Mater Unigéniti!

Quæ mærébat et dolébat,
Pia Mater, dum vidébat
Nati poenas íncliti.

Quis est homo, qui non fleret,
Matrem Christi si vidéret
In tanto supplício?

Quis non posset contristári,
Christi Matrem contemplári
Doléntem cum Fílio?

Pro peccátis suæ gentis
Vidit Jesum in torméntis
Et flagéllis súbditum.

Vidit suum dulcem
Natum Moriéndo desolátum,
Dum emísit spíritum.

Eja, Mater, fons amóris,
Me sentíre vim dolóris
Fac, ut tecum lúgeam.

Fac, ut árdeat cor meum
In amándo Christum Deum,
Ut sibi compláceam.

Sancta Mater, istud agas,
Crucifixi fige plagas
Cordi meo válida.

Tui Nati vulneráti,
Tam dignáti pro me pati,
Poenas mecum dívide.

Fac me tecum pie flere,
Crucifíxo condolére,
Donec ego víxero.

Juxta Crucem tecum stare
Et me tibi sociáre
In planctu desídero.

Virgo vírginum præclára.
Mihi jam non sis amára:
Fac me tecum plángere.

Fac, ut portem Christi mortem,
Passiónis fac consórtem
Et plagas recólere.

Fac me plagis vulnerári,
Fac me Cruce inebriári
Et cruóre Fílii.

Flammis ne urar succénsus,
Per te, Virgo, sim defénsus
In die judícii.

Christe, cum sit hinc exíre.
Da per Matrem me veníre
Ad palmam victóriæ.

Quando corpus moriétur,
Fac, ut ánimæ donétur
Paradísi glória.
Amen.

Gradual
Sorrowful and tearful are you, O Virgin Mary, standing by the Cross of the Lord Jesus, your Son and Redeemer.
V. O Virgin Mother of god, He Whom the whole earth contains not, the Author of life, made man, bears this anguish of the Cross.

Tractus
Holy Mary, Queen of heaven and Mistress of the world, filled with sorrow, stood by the Cross of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
V. Lam. 1:12 O all you that pass by the way, attend and see if there be any sorrow like to my sorrow. In votive Masses throughout the year the Gradual is as above, but in place of the Tract is said or sung: Alleluia, alleluia.
V. Holy Mary, Queen of heaven and Mistress of the world, stood, filled with sorrow, by the Cross of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Alleluia.

Sequentia
At the Cross her station keeping,
Stood the mournful Mother weeping,
Close to Jesus to the last.

Through her heart, His sorrow sharing,
All His bitter anguish bearing
Now at length the sword had passed.

Oh, how sad and sore distressed
Was that Mother highly blessed
Of the sole begotten One!

Christ above in torment hangs,
She beneath beholds the pangs
Of her dying, glorious Son.

Is there one who would not weep
‘Whelmed in miseries so deep
Christ’s dear Mother’s pain untold.

Can the human heart refrain
From partaking in her pain,
In that Mother’s pain untold?

Bruised, derided, cursed, defiled,
She beheld her tender Child,
All with bloody scourges rent.

For the sins of His own nation
Saw Him hang in desolation
Till His spirit forth He sent.

O sweet Mother! fount of love,
Touch my spirit from above,
Make my heart with yours accord.

Make me feel as you have felt;
Make my soul to glow and melt
With the love of Christ, my Lord.

Holy Mother, pierce me through,
In my heart each wound renew
Of my Savior crucified.

Let me share with you His pain,
Who for all our sins was slain,
Who for me in torments died.

Mix’d with yours let my tears be,
Mourning Him Who mourned for me,
All the days that I may live.

By the Cross with you to stay,
There with you to weep and pray,
Is all I ask of you to give.

Virgin of all virgins blest!
Listen to my fond request:
Let me share that grief of yours.

Let me, to my latest breath,
In my body bear the death
Of that dying Son of yours.

Wounded with His every wound,
Steep my soul till it has swooned
In His very Blood away.

Be to me, O Virgin, nigh,
Lest in flames I burn and die,
In this awful judgment day.

Christ, when You shall call me hence,
Be Your Mother my defense,
Be Your Cross my victory.

While my body here decays,
May my soul Your goodness praise,
Safe in heaven eternally.
Amen.

Credo in unum Deum, Patrem omnipoténtem, factórem coeli et terræ, visibílium ómnium et in visibílium. Et in unum Dóminum Jesum Christum, Fílium Dei unigénitum. Et ex Patre natum ante ómnia saecula. Deum de Deo, lumen de lúmine, Deum verum de Deo vero. Génitum, non factum, consubstantiálem Patri: per quem ómnia facta sunt. Qui propter nos hómines et propter nostram salútem descéndit de coelis. Et incarnátus est de Spíritu Sancto ex María Vírgine: Et homo factus est. Crucifíxus étiam pro nobis: sub Póntio Piláto passus, et sepúltus est. Et resurréxit tértia die, secúndum Scriptúras. Et ascéndit in coelum: sedet ad déxteram Patris. Et íterum ventúrus est cum glória judicáre vivos et mórtuos: cujus regni non erit finis.

Creed
I believe in one God, the Father almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things, visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God. And born of the Father, before all ages. God of God: Light of Light: true God of true God. Begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father, by whom all things were made. Who, for us men, and for our salvation, came down from heaven. And became incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary: and was made man. He was crucified also for us, suffered under Pontius Pilate, and was buried. And the third day He rose again according to the Scriptures. And ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of the Father. And He shall come again with glory to judge both the living and the dead, of whose kingdom there shall be no end.
And in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of Life, proceeding from the Father and the Son. Who together, with the Father and the Son, is adored and glorified: Who spoke by the prophets. And in one, holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the remission of sins. And I look for the resurrection of the dead. And the life of the world to come. Amen.

P. Amen.

Secret
O Lord Jesus Christ, we offer You prayers and sacrificial gifts, humbly beseeching You that, as we prayerfully recall the piercing of the most sweet soul of Your blessed Mother Mary, so through the merits of Your death and the manifold intercession of her and her holy friends at the foot of the Cross, we may have our reward with the blessed.
Who livest and reignest with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end.
R. Amen
For FERIA
Grant us, O merciful God, that we may ever have the grace to serve Your altars worthily, and may we be saved by constantly partaking of the sacrifice.
Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end.
R. Amen.

Preface
P. The Lord be with you.
S. And with thy spirit.
P. Lift up your hearts.
S. We have lifted them up to the Lord.
P. Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
S. It is meet and just.

Holy Cross
It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks unto Thee, O holy Lord, Father almighty, everlasting God; Who didst establish the salvation of mankind on the tree of the Cross; that whence death came, thence also life might arise again, and that he, who overcame by the tree, by the tree also might be overcome: Through Christ our Lord. Through whom the Angels praise Thy Majesty, the Dominations worship it, the Powers stand in awe. The Heavens and the heavenly hosts together with the blessed Seraphim in triumphant chorus unite to celebrate it. Together with these we entreat Thee that Thou mayest bid our voices also to be admitted while we say with lowly praise:

Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Sabaoth! Heaven and earth are full of Thy glory! Hosanna in the highest! Blessed is He that cometh in the Name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!

Fuit homo missus a Deo, cui nomen erat Joánnes. Hic venit in testimónium, ut testimónium perhibéret de lúmine, ut omnes créderent per illum. Non erat ille lux, sed ut testimónium perhibéret de lúmine.
Erat lux vera, quæ illúminat omnem hóminem veniéntem in hunc mundum. In mundo erat, et mundus per ipsum factus est, et mundus eum non cognóvit. In própria venit, et sui eum non recepérunt. Quotquot autem recepérunt eum, dedit eis potestátem fílios Dei fíeri, his, qui credunt in nómine ejus: qui non ex sanguínibus, neque ex voluntáte carnis, neque ex voluntáte viri, sed ex Deo nati sunt.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. 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.
R. Thanks be to God.

A ESTO SE LLAMA VIVIR COMO UN CURAINGLÉS . EL CURA DE SAN CUTHBERTO ROBABA A LA IGLESIA Y AGASAJABA A LA QUERIDA



A Roman Catholic priest who fell in love with his housekeeper defrauded his parish of more than £50,000 while lavishing her and her daughters with gifts.
Father John Reid, 70 was supposed to live a simple life, but spent £1,200 on a canteen of cutlery, was a member of the Sunday Times Wine Club and spent £80 on oysters and smoked salmon while holidaying in Scotland.
Jane Waugh, prosecuting, said the priest, now living in Stockton, had joined the parish in 2009 and accounts showed spending increased fourfold in some areas after he took over.
 

She said "female clothing" had been found in the bedrooms and passports belonging to the housekeeper Gillian Leddy and her two daughters had been found in the safe.
The court heard that Fr Reid told police he had fallen in love with Gillian Leddy, and saw her daughters, Veronica and Alice, as "the family that he never had".
During the inquiry, it emerged that the priest gave property and money to the Leddys on a "large scale", buying two homes each for Veronica and Alice, a car each and financing a cafe business for them.
He also gave them both substantial amounts of cash. But Ms Waugh said the money for these gifts came from an inheritance of the priest, not the result of fraud.
Fr Reid accepted taking the Leddys out to eat "a few times a week". Over the four years he was at St Cuthbert's, his basic remuneration should have totalled £31,455.

But he disbursed to himself more than £113,000 from parish cheques. He wrote more than 150 cheques to himself, most of which were co-signed by Veronica Leddy.
"In particular, there had been dramatic increases within the categories of general administration, housekeeping and hospitality," said Ms Waugh.
"This would appear to be because Gillian, Alice and Veronica Leddy, who are mother and daughters and close friends of the defendant from his previous parish at Willington, were effectively living at the presbytery and the defendant's expenditure increased to reflect the fact that he was helping to support them financially.
"This additional expenditure was claimed back from the Church, in expenses, by the defendant," she added.
Christopher Knox, defending, spoke of 15 character references and said the priest expressed "great distress, regret and apology".
Fr Reid was handed an 18-month suspended sentence at Durham Crown Court after he admitted fraud by abuse of position at a previous hearing.
He has agreed to pay back the £50,000 within three months

bendita inocencia me case para tener hijos i am family man


en esta vida hay que apretar el culo y dar pedales

Man lädt dem Rad mit dem Rennlenker eine bewusst minimalistische Campingausrüstung auf. Einen auf Faustgröße knautschbaren Schlafsack nebst Thermomatte im Format einer Küchenrolle sowie einen kleiner als eine Tafel Schokolade faltbaren Kocher aus Titan. Minimalistisch heißt ja nicht billig, sondern nur klein, leicht und von supereingeschränktem allgemeinen Gebrauchswert. Das ist in etwa auch die Umschreibung des Gravelbikes abseits der Wege durchs Abseits. Verglichen mit einem echten Rennvelo fährt sich so ein Ding auf Asphalt wie ein getunter Traktor: nicht lahm, aber auch nicht wirklich schnell. Im Gelände möchte man allemal ein gutes Mountainbike und für die Übernachtung am Lagerfeuer ein Rucksäckchen vorziehen.
Mehr zum Thema
Und ehrlich gesagt: Wenn es richtig holprig wird, ist der breitarmig balancierende Griff, mit dem man das Mountainbike lenkt, dem schmaleren Rennlenker des Gravelbikes allemal vorzuziehen. Aber die Geschmäcker sind nun mal verschieden: Für den Rennlenker sprechen in erster Linie die verschiedenen möglichen Greifpositionen, speziell wenn sich die Tour etwas in die Länge zieht. Denn während beim Mountainbike die Fahrtechnik, um nicht zu sagen eine gewisse Artistik der Geländebewältigung, im Vordergrund steht, ist der Reiz beim Gravelbike, ob mit oder ohne Gepäck, wie beim Rennrad überhaupt das Touren – nur eben ohne sich großartige Gedanken über den Fahrbahnzustand machen zu müssen.

Die Übergänge werden fließend sein

Nächster Verwandter des auch Allroad oder Road-Plus genannten Gravelbikes ist das Endurance-Rennrad. Dem hatten seine Schöpfer neben breiteren Reifen mehr Bequemlichkeit mitgegeben durch einen höher angeordneten Lenker und eine gedrängtere Rahmenform. Noch dickere, 35 oder 40 Millimeter breite Schlappen werden dem Gravelbike aufgezogen. Trotz der breiten Durchlässe, wie sie an dem hier beispielhaft gezeigten Koga Colmaro zu erkennen sind, kann die Sitzposition eines Gravelbikes wesentlich sportlicher sein als die eines Endurance-Renners. Also Lenker wieder tiefer und mit einem Oberkörper in deutlicher Vorlage ab in den Wald. Von Fall zu Fall wird man unter den radelnden Pfarrerstöchtern heftig darüber diskutieren können, was mit dicken Reifen vor einem steht: noch Endurance- oder schon Gravelbike? Die Übergänge werden fließend sein, und je nach Hersteller werden die Räder mal so und mal anders genannt werden. Aber das kennt man ja schon.

CANCIÓN DE ROGATIVAS
 
POR ALLÍ
viene una nube
toda vestida de blanco.
es la Virgen de Luguillas
que viene regando el campo
santo cristo del Amparo
nuestro padre y redentor
amarrado a la columna
danos el agua, Señor
dadnos el agua, Señor, aunque no
lo merezcamos
que si por merecer fuere
ni la tierra que pisamos
por la corona de espinas
que tu frente taladró
los dolores de mis culpas
danos el agua Señor
Santo Cristo del Amparo
que estás entre dos caminos
danos el agua Señor
que se nos secan los trigos
En Cuba tenemos guerra
llevan  de España la flor
y si no llueve Dios mío
será nuestra perdición
mira por los angelitos
que en la tierra están llorando
y no lo podemos dar porque se nos seca el campo
Santo Cristo del amparo nuestro padre y salvador
amarrado a la columna danos el agua señor
aunque no lo merezcamos
que si por merecer fuera ni aun la tierra en que pisamos

BECQUER EN EL MONASTERIO DE VERUELA ENCONTRÓ A XTO








BÉCQUER EN VERUELA BELLEZA DEL CRISTIANISMO

Cerraron sus ojos que aun tenía abiertos. Taparon su rostro con un blanco lienzo- y unos sollozando y otros en silencio de la fría alcoba todos se salieron” estos versos que debieran estar esculpidos en la historia de las literaturas con letras doradas fueron escritos en la fría celda monacal de Veruela. Son el registro más patético que del misterio de la muerte.
Debieron estar inspirados por la joven de Trasmoz que le servía fallecida durante su estancia. Luego el poeta que más y mejor cantó al amor etéreo en lengua castellana y muy enamoradizo las mujeres fueron su gloria y su perdición ▬ sus Rimas y Leyendas era el libro que regalamos, víctimas de una especie de sarampión platónico, a nuestras novias los mozos de mi generación se casaría con su hermana.
Fue un casamiento turbulento y desafortunado.
Los grandes hombres matrimonian con niñas que no son de su condición. Es la eterna dicotomía entre el buen amor del arcipreste de Hita y el amor villano y lunfardo. Celos, gritos, adulterios, hijos que no fueron suyos, broncas, palos. Un artista como él no merecía eso.
La muerte se lo llevó joven al héroe del romanticismo hispano no había cumplido casi los cruenta años. Es la amarga cara  de la moneda.
“Discreta y casta luna
copudos y altos olmos
paredes de su casa
umbrales de su pórtico
La heroína que inspira las rimas becquerianas es una ideal inasible. La poesía del genio sevillano parece condenada a gemir bajo el peso de lo que pudo ser y nunca se realizó.
cuando me lo contaron
sentí el frío de una hoja de acero
me apoyé contra el muro
y un instante perdía la consciencia
donde me encontraba
cayó sobre mi espíritu la noche
y en ira y en piedad
se anegó el alma
y entonces comprendía
por qué se llora
entonces comprendí por qué se mata”
El monasterio de Veruela marcó sus destinos. Allí le salió al encuentro esa belleza del cristianismo que es privativa del catolicismo y del que carecen otras religiones como el judaísmo desde la destrucción del templo  esto quia sea una maldición no le dan importancia al habitáculo desdeñan el lujo exterior pero los musulmanes. Sin embargo, según atisbó Bécquer, fueron los grandes alarifes que contribuyeron a la riqueza artística de Aragón y Andalucía. Teruel es muladí y Zaragoza aljamiada. A lo sumo esa descripción de la vida de los monjes blancos le hace soñar en un pasado cuando los frailes calzaban escuelas e iban a la guerra a caballo combinando el peto y la espada del guerrero con la cogulla monacal. Tropieza bajo el eco de las bóvedas.
Cimbras encajonadas, capillas donde reposa el último doncel de don Enrique el Doliente ▬ Veruela me salió al encuentro cuando pasé por allí con mi mini de regreso de Inglaterra y sentí la llamada de San Bernardo pero no quise hacer caso ay de mí pecador ▬ y de los arcos de medio punto del monasterio el eco de los cantos en gregoriano las misas a la virgen las plegarias y una actividad incesante de roturar los campos sarmentar las vides vendimiar trillar beldar. El vino y la plegaria son partes de esa herencia.
El evangelio guarda arcanos misteriosos que descubre el vate en las noches de luna entre el crujido de las puertas y el resonar de pasos fantasmales por los ánditos y tandas de los claustros abandonados.
Y obra al pie de las estatuas yacentes de guerreros como el condestable Atares al que enterraron de medio lado y aun luce su sepultura los colores medievales de su armadura de guerrear.
Allí una dama más allá la mitra de un obispo al que guardan en su sueño eterno de mármol dos dogos de su jauría inmortalizados en la piedra:

En la imponente nave
del templo bizantino
vi la gótica tumba a la indecisa luz
que temblaba en los pintados vidrios
las manos sobre el pecho
y en las manos un libro
una mujer hermosa reposaba
sobre la urna, del cincel prodigio
del cuerpo abandonado
al dulce peso hundido
cual si la banda pluma y raso fuera
se plegaba su lecho de granito
De la postrer sonrisa
El resplandor divino
Guardaba el rostro
Como el cielo guarda
Del sol que muere el rayo fugitivo
Del cabezal de piedra
Sentados en el filo
Dos ángeles, el dedo sobre el labio,
Imponían silencio en el recinto
No parecía muerta
De los arcos macizos
Parecía dormir en la penumbra
Y que en sueños veía el paraíso
M e acerqué de la nave
El ángulo sombrío
Como quien llega con callada planta
Sobre la cuna donde duerme un niño
La contemple un momento
Y aquel resplandor tibio
Aquel lecho que ofrecía
Próximo al muro
Otro lugar vacío
En mi alma avivaron
La sed de lo infinito
El ansia de la muerte
Para la que un instante son  siglos
Cansado del combate
En el que luchando vivo
Alguna vez recuerdo con envidia
Aquel rincón oscuro y escondido
De aquella muda y pálida mujer
Me acuerdo y digo
¡Oh qué amor tan callado el de la muerte!
¡Qué sueño el del sepulcro tan tranquilo! 

Este es Bécquer inmarcesible. Su lira a cuantos `pensamos y amamos en castellano conserva esa plasticidad del periodismo lírico que estremece. Veruela. El Cister. La Virgen María nuestro norte y guá y aquí topamos con lo inefable algo que sólo entiende el corazón, mas a la razón no se le alcanza.

ENGLAND MADE ME

 AMOR INGLÉS

Tuve un amor inglés pienso en la Suzi ni el Brexit ni Picardo ni los monos de Gibraltar podrán arrebatarme aquellos recuerdos de Hornchurch inconsciente de mí cambié el oro por el oropel. Uno no es de donde nace ni de donde pace, pertenece al país donde conoció el amor. Oh Suzanne toda roja y toda azul bajo la niebla de Hull. Me calzo las antiparras del retrovisor y te veo bella y esplendente tal cual eras, ya sé que te hice sufrir con mi inconsciente pero tú fuiste lo mejor que ocurrió en la vida. Una vez te llamé por teléfono y al despedirte:


  • Zany, dame un beso
  • you took them all – dijiste: te los llevaste todos tú
  • oh dulce Suzanne espero que hayas sido feliz. Gracias por cuidarte de nuestra Helena.
  • Doña teresa May esa señora agambada y algo cargada de hombros no nois puede separar. Tampoco la pipa de Harold Wilson puso nuestras almas de por medio. God save the queen. Helen nuestra Helen es española inglesa poco más se puede pedir. Gracias por aquel amor indeleble que llevo por bandera y por insignia hasta la muerte. Por haberte conocido fue una granjería haber vivido

BECQUER VIAJA A VERUELA





Bécquer en el monasterio de Veruela

Un día de la primavera de 1863 tomé en la estación de Delicias el tren de Ariza. Aragón era un vergel. El ruiseñor  cantor anidaba entre las ramas de los piescales a los que la primavera había vestido con la purpura cardenalicia.
Nuestro vagón iba atestado de baturros calzón de media anqueta el cachirulo de yerbas en la frente. Y de peregrinos madrileños que iban al Pilar por promesa.
Sonaban aires de jota en el siguiente vagón del convoy donde una batería de artilleros marchaba camino del frente del MAESTRAZGO. Iba a luchar contra los facciosos de Zumalacárregui y sus bandas carlistas.

En nuestro compartimento un cura rezaba el breviario o hacía        que farfullaba preces en latín, terciado el balandrán, los ojos puestos sobre una moza que acababa de entrar en el compartimento llevando una inmensa cesta de huevos a la cadera. 
La teja del cura o gorro eclesiástico ocupaba buena parte del testel de equipaje. 
Descendió al anden en Agreda donde  era esperado por el sacristán de su parroquia, y una oronda maña con el garbo de la tierra en los andares de las hembras aragonesas y una monaguillo que era tan parecido a él que los ingleses dirían que era su spitting image. seguro que aquel cura era su padre,
Un joven sevillano estaba en frente de mí; ojos ardientes melena y perilla se sentaba en el rincón de la ventanilla no podían ser sus ojos más soñadores. Era Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer. No habló en todo el trayecto, miraba el paisaje. De vez en cuando sacaba un prontuario que escondía entre su manta de viaje y apuntaba alguna palabra o una frase feliz alguna ocurrencia de sus compañeros de ruta.
No pude distinguir el tenor de aquellas notas pero observé que pintaba en su cuaderno de campo el rostro del cura, la cabeza romana del labrador del cachirulo y fuertes pantorrillas o la figura esbelta de la joven que nos dijo ser esposa de un militar de Zaragoza.
Cuando le ofrecieron beber vino de la tierra lo desdeñó con mucha elegancia. Luego supimos que aquel joven de aspecto tan señorial y elegante marchaba a un balneario de Borja a tomar las aguas termales.
Luego cayó en lánguido mutismo soportando las cuchufletas de los acompañantes las torvas miradas del cura y las agresividades de un seminarista de Zaragoza que plantaba su pierna indecorosamente al lado de la lady pues la mujer del militar era inglesa. Tampoco se quejó de los baches y las  incomodidades de la tartana por camino de herradura, que hubimos de tomar en Tudela.
Veinte leguas en carne mortal hasta Cariñena pero al fin llegamos con el cuerpo dolorido a causa del traqueteo, los reniegos y blasfemias del delantero y hartos del cante y del vino áspero de Cariñena que dicen que es garantía de salud y resucita a los muertos.
El poeta tosía con frecuencia. Acaso era este el motivo de su tristeza el de su precaria salud. Posamos en una fonda de la capital del Somontano y al día siguiente, de amanecida, enganchamos la riata de la posta (seis pares de mulas, un arriero que ya de madrugada se había tomado sus traguillos de aguardiente) y recorrimos las siete leguas que separan dicha población de Veruela.

El lugar es un recóndito paraíso escondido en un fértil valle entre montañas donde se alza uno de los primeros conventos cistercienses edificado en el siglo XII por el conde don PEDRO ATARES y dedicado a la Virgen María 

TARDE DE DOMINGO UN POEMA




Soledad Y Dolor
 
Soledad de español
Español solo
Peleando con las aguas
Al remo en su galera de la incomprensión
Golpes de rebenque
Arrea el cómitre de la información
Bogar en la mar mediterránea
De la gran mentira
Iza, iza y rabiza
Boga y cía la vida es remar
Comer y cagar
Que cada palo aguante su vela
Soy esforzado proel de ideas y noticias prohibidas
Voy a tierra de los autrigones
A escribir sobre el vuelo de las aves
Aviceptología
Maravillase el portugués
Que en Francia todos
Supieran hablar francés
Curen otros del gobierno
Del mundo y sus monarquía
Las alidadas de mi huerto de fabes
Tómbolas en el viento
Y esos señores portugueses
Tres efes fútbol fado y Fátima
Tres grandes mentiras
 La Virgen ya no se aparece
Que escudriñan mis páginas
Abajo los nuevos inquisidores
Picaron alto mis deseos
Pero todo ese mundo sucumbió
Arrío la bandera de mi inocencia
En medio del gran dolor
