Vidimus enim stellam ejus in Oriénte, et vénimus adoráre eum. Audiens autem Heródes rex, turbatus est, et omnis Jerosólyma cum illo. Et cóngregans omnes principes sacerdotum et scribas pópuli, sciscitabátur ab eis, ubi Christus nasceretur. At illi dixérunt ei: In Béthlehem Judæ: sic enim scriptum est per Prophétam: Et tu, Béthlehem terra Juda, nequaquam mínima es in princípibus Juda; ex te enim éxiet dux, qui regat pópulum meum Israël. Tunc Heródes, clam vocátis Magis, diligénter dídicit ab eis tempus stellæ, quæ appáruit eis: et mittens illos in Béthlehem, dixit: Ite, et interrogáte diligénter de púero: et cum invenéritis, renuntiáte mihi, ut et ego véniens adórem eum. Qui cum audíssent regem, abiérunt. Et ecce, stella, quam víderant in Oriénte, antecedébat eos, usque dum véniens staret supra, ubi erat Puer. Vidéntes autem stellam, gavísi sunt gáudio magno valde. Et intrántes domum, invenérunt Púerum cum María Matre ejus, hic genuflectitur et procidéntes adoravérunt eum. Et, apértis thesáuris suis, obtulérunt ei múnera, aurum, thus et myrrham.

P. The Lord be with you. S. And with thy spirit. Continuation ✠ of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew R. Glory be to Thee, O Lord. Matt 2:1-12 When Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of King Herod, behold, Magi came from the East to Jerusalem, saying, Where is He that is born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the east and have come to worship Him. But when King Herod heard this, he was troubled, and so was all Jerusalem with him. And gathering together all the chief priests and Scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judea; for thus it is written by the prophet, ‘And you, Bethlehem, of the land of Juda, are by no means least among the princes of Juda; for from you shall come forth a leader who shall rule My people Israel.’ Then Herod summoned the Magi secretly, and carefully ascertained from them the time when the star had appeared to them. And sending them to Bethlehem, he said, Go and make careful inquiry concerning the Child, and when you have found Him, bring me word, that I too may go and worship Him. Now they, having heard the king, went their way. And behold, the star that they had seen in the East went before them, until it came and stood over the place where the Child was. And when they saw the star they rejoiced exceedingly. And entering the house, they found the Child with Mary His Mother, genuflect and falling down they worshipped Him. And opening their treasures they offered Him gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. And being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country by another way. R. Praise be to Thee, O Christ. S. By the words of the Gospel may our sins be blotted out.

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.

PUBLICO UNO DE MIS MEJORES LIBROS CARTAS A MI HIJA INGLESA

 

Día de la epifanía, el mundo se debate en guerras, tan cruentas como la de Gaza, crisis políticas en España, parlamentos de papel y yo busco en mi interior la paz de Xto y el perdón hago recapitulación de lo que pudo ser y no fue. 

Fui agraciado por los dioses de aquel amor inglés y no lo supe reconocer aturdido por los petardos de la revolución del 68, las canciones, muchas canciones, de Beatles, Joan Baez, el mago Elvis. 

Se trata de un libro Epifanio, quiero decir manifiesto o manifestación de mi culpa, mis desengaños y mi ingenuidad. Todas estas cosas me llevaron por la senda de la literatura, que es un camino de la amargura, lleno de abrojos, desaires e incomprensión. Así y todo no me considero un fracasado. Me apoyé en el tentemozo de la fe y con esta apoyatura realicé mi vividura. 

Yo tuve un gran amor inglés del que nació Helen, es la órbita en torno a la cual gira casi toda mi poesía y mi obra literaria, no exenta del sarcasmo y la mala sombra del pícaro, una coraza para sobrevivir a las purgas silenciosas del posfranquismo. 

Todos aquellos que escribimos en los tiempos del Caudillo acusados de colaboracionistas fuimos enviados

A la gehena pero acá estamos. Y este es el sentido de la nueva obra que rindo a los tórculos el día de la epifanía de 2024 cuando cumpla si Dios quiere ochenta años. 

Todo hoy en mí es limpio y claro, me acabo de bañar en las aguas del Jordán. El Señor Dios se manifiesta a las gentes, lavará nuestras culpas y vencerá al diablo dentro de los tres prerrequisitos mundo, demonio y carne. 

Alegraos. Alégrate Helen que ibas para periodista, pero preferiste ser enfermera y te abrazaste a los dictámenes del Juramento de Hipócrates. 

Antes de partir yo diría que le debo un gallo a Esculapio como Sócrates y tú Suzanne aquella flapper, la más bella de las hijas de Albión, alégrate.

 Te has transformado en ese hermosa viejecita de Kings and Coronets

CRISTO JESUS LUZ DEL MUNDO ALUMBRANOS CON TU AMOR PARA QUE VIVAMOS EN SALUD SIN GUERRAS Y EN CONCORDIA. HOY 6 DE ENERO ES NOCHEBUENA PARA LOS RUSOS

ARCHPRIEST VLADIMIR VIGILIANSKY ON THE THEMES AND MEANINGS OF THE NATIVITY Archpriest Vladimir Vigilyansky Many Orthodox Christians are celebrating the feast of the Nativity of Christ very soon. How did non-religious Soviet people celebrate it? Why are there millions of paintings on the Christmas theme? Archpriest Vladimir Vigilyansky, rector of the Church of the holy Martyr Tatiana at Moscow State University, ex-press secretary of Patriarch Alexei II and Patriarch Kirill, answers these and other questions to the Rossiyskaya Gazeta newspaper. Photo: razrisyika.ru Photo: razrisyika.ru First and foremost, it’s a family story —Why is the feast of the Nativity of Christ still significant for believers and non-believers alike? What makes it so strong? —A brief yet dramatic Gospel narrative about the Birth of Christ can definitely interest not only believers and church people. First and foremost, it’s a family story. A family went to Bethlehem to take part in the census. Since there was no inn to stay, they had to hide from the cold in a cave. At that time Mary’s labor began. Another important aspect of the Christmas account is the story of the angels who appeared in the skies—the shepherds saw them and got scared. But the angel of the Lord said to them: “Do not be afraid—great joy awaits you.” Another significant detail of the Christmas narrative is the foreign Magi! They saw a star in the sky and followed it. Lastly, when this episode full of unusual events ended with the Birth of the Messiah, King Herod, who had heard about it, fearing for his power, ordered all the infants in Bethlehem to be exterminated so that the King of Judea born there would be killed with them. And this whole story, related almost on one page, never ceases to excite and overwhelm absolutely different people. This episode and its role in the history of mankind will never be ignored. Archpriest Vladimir Vigilyansky: The Nativity is the main Christian theme of Russian poetry. Photo: RIA Novosti Archpriest Vladimir Vigilyansky: The Nativity is the main Christian theme of Russian poetry. Photo: RIA Novosti If God was born in human form—the One Who will save us—then the division into believers and non-believers is not so important, because this is joy; one Gospel calls this joy full (Jn. 15:11), and another calls it great (Lk. 2:10). People feel such joy only when they have a living contact with God. I would advise doubting or over-rational people to go to a Nativity service and look at the faces of people in the church. Love is the cure for fear —So, for non-believers the Nativity is already such an archetypal case, and it is impossible to throw it out of global public consciousness, as it were? —Of course, it is impossible. And the Christmas story suggests another very important thing. The angel of the Lord said to the shepherds, “Fear not!” Unfortunately, we have not yet parted from fear that has permeated the life of mankind over many, many centuries. It remains one of our most important emotions. People constantly fear a wide range of dangers—whether to their well-being or the restriction of their freedoms. We are afraid of loneliness, poverty, hunger, unemployment, homelessness, natural disasters, catastrophes, illnesses—our own and those of our loved ones. Phobias, anxiety, worries and panic accompany human life. People seek protection. Any recipes aimed at overcoming fear are relevant. And Christianity gives us this recipe. It says: only love, which is born from the union of man with God, is the main means of protection. The whole dramatic message of the Nativity and all the emotions associated with it are dictated by the thirst for unfeigned love, without which it is impossible to overcome all our phobias. This Gospel story and its meaning is a very vivid thing. That’s why we are so excited about everything related to this feast. I know people who do not consider themselves Christians, but go to church twice a year: on the Nativity and on Pascha. Therefore, the Nativity has not been forgotten and is relevant in all ages. And in periods of persecution against Christians, both church-goers and non-church people loved this feast. In the 1970s I used to work at the State Institute for Art Studies and had not yet been baptized. Among the art critics of our department was a Christian, the well-known film critic and essayist Neya Markovna Zorkaya (1924–2006). She always—once a year—invited us, the whole department of fifteen members (I was the youngest), to her house for Christmas dinner. All our intellectual elite always came to her every year. It was the Soviet era, but no one, not even non-believers, could raise a voice against the feast of the Nativity. This is how the intellectuals celebrated the Nativity in the USSR, even if outside the Church. Millions of paintings and thousands of poems are dedicated to the Nativity —Christmas is represented in a myriad of works of art... —The fact that our culture is permeated by Christianity struck me even when I was slowly beginning to integrate into Church life. Without exaggeration, millions of paintings are dedicated to the event of the Birth of the Savior. For twenty centuries the Nativity has inspired artists and painters to create their own pictures. And take poetry! Back in Soviet years I started collecting whole anthologies of poems on Christian themes. Russian poetry was especially distinguished by the presence of the Christmas theme, from Mikhail Lermontov to Joseph Brodsky. Afanasy Fet, Alexander Blok, Boris Pasternak, Ivan Bunin, Vyacheslav Ivanov, Vladislav Khodasevich, Sergei Yesenin, Vladimir Solovyov… And Nikolai Gumilev translated poems about the Nativity. All the major poets wrote about this event. Brodsky wrote ten poems dedicated to the Nativity! I am the husband of the poet Olesya Nikolaeva, who composed five poems dedicated to this feast. Caravaggio. Nativity with St. Francis and St. Lawrence. Photo: Wikipedia Caravaggio. Nativity with St. Francis and St. Lawrence. Photo: Wikipedia —Do you have any favorite lines from her Christmas poems? —O my heart! Thou art the cave| Of mystery, breaking on the highest notes When the Only One, the Babe is born There, in thy deepest darkness! The Catholics and Orthodox Nativity —I once heard from a Catholic that the Nativity is a joyfully harmonious and rather “Catholic” feast in its spirit, while the Orthodox love Pascha more—drama and tragedy in the Joy of the Resurrection. —To say that the Nativity is the most important feast for the Catholics and Pascha is for the Orthodox is theologically incorrect. The path of the God-man from the Nativity to Pascha cannot be broken. The Nativity is impossible without Pascha and vice versa. To ask which feast is dearer to you is like asking whom you love more—your father or your mother. Another thing is that the Nativity as a festival is undoubtedly richer in traditions, beautiful legends, nice fairy tales and folk beliefs. The Christmas tree, a manger, a Nativity scene, and the gifts of the magi... Take the legend about how different trees bowed to the newborn Christ and only a humble fir tree stood aside... And Pascha is people’s hope for eternal life! A one-time miracle of miracles, to which everything had been going through terrible events—the Passion, unfair trials, and the murder of God. The Apostle Paul said pointblank: And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain (1 Cor. 15:14). Of course, nice fairy tales and legends do not blend with all this. Why in the West they try to remove the words “of Christ” from the feast of Nativity —Recently there was a news report that in the West they point to the “too high Christian-centricity” of the feast of the Nativity of Christ. —My eldest daughter teaches at a French Lyceum (one of the Alexandre Dumas lyceums scattered all over the world). French children study there, and they are forbidden to say, “the Nativity of Christ”—only “the Nativity”. When children ask whose Nativity it is, the teachers are forbidden to answer because it can allegedly upset adherents of other faiths. It’s a strange, cunning tolerance, if not a diabolical delusion. The wonderful poet Semyon Izrailevich Lipkin (1911–2003) once told me that he was admitted to a school in Odessa in 1917 at a three percent rate for Jews. The Law of God was taught there. Of course, this subject was optional for children from Jewish families. But he attended these lessons, giving a good reason to the priest-teacher of the Law of God to shout at the school students: “Lipkin, a Jew, knows the Law of God better than you fools!” I asked him, “Semyon Izrailevich, why did you attend those classes?” He replied, “Well, I was surrounded by Orthodox Christians and I needed to know what law they lived by. Why should I remain in the dark about it?” This is still relevant today. Okay, your religion is different, but you should know what people around you are celebrating. Why should this knowledge offend you? All those strange self-accusations of the French and the Germans that “the Christmas tree offends Muslims” are a cunning deception.

MUNDO CONVULSO Y CRUEL

 

Me da miedo

Cuando sopla el terral vespertino

Un siroco que llena de arena

Los ojos

Trae novedades enaciadas

Un futuro de aljamía en perspectiva

Será nuestro castigo

Lo tenemos merecido

por no haber combatido

Somos sibaritas y pusilánimes

Suena por las calles de Madrid

El tartavelo de la peste

Y el pueblo enfermo y oprimido

Va a la ermita a venerar

A la Mujer que conculca la cabeza

Del dragón en sus calcaños

Sede de la sabiduría

Almena del coraje

Jardín de la belleza

Había en Atocha una cuadrillas de arrieros patavinos

Bebiendo todos de del mismo odre

y una vieja desde la cuesta Moyano

Gritaba: franchutes, borrachos, mamones. Iros a vuestro país

 Я ПУБЛИКУЮ «ПИСЬМА ЕЛЕНЕ МОЕЙ АНГЛИЙСКОЙ ДОЧЕРИ», КОТОРУЮ ЕДИНСТВЕННО ЗНАЮ

 

Моя двенадцатая книга появилась в севильской газете «Пунторохо». В конце 241 костяная страница и альбом с фотографиями из жизни.

Я попробовал построить внутренний роман, и вышла сатира. В центре внимания женщина, которая была причиной моего существования, но в ангельском скрыты сатанинские и трагедии: заболевание щитовидной железы Сюзанны, вызвавшее у меня психический срыв (лошадиная депрессия),

Сразу после этого я сел в свой мини с несколькими книгами и гитарой и вернулся в Испанию, бросив дом в Эденторпе и работу учителя в школе в Йоркшире, я искал работу в Испании, делал репортажи обо всем, что переехал и как Благодаря своему упорству я осуществил мечту всей своей карьеры — стать корреспондентом в Лондоне.

  Сюзанна чудесным образом излечилась от рака щитовидной железы, и это побудило меня навестить ее в Эссексе. Там меня не приняли, и это правильно. Я спросил Богородицу в разгар своего отчаяния и верю, что Она исцелила ее. Я даже добрался до Лизье, одного из святилищ, которые я посетил, всю свою жизнь излечивая от рака.

  Эта книга — судорожный шлейф страданий и сожалений, очерк безумия и благодарность провидению, спасшему меня от стольких опасностей, моего грешника. Боль истощения витает над его страницами. Я раскаиваюсь в том, что был подлецом.

  Кстати. Я непримиримо критикую упрямый феминизм, который не позволяет родителям видеться со своими детьми, что является причиной многих споров и даже убийств. Его брак с Сюзанной был расторгнут церковью, и она получила запретительный судебный приказ.

Девушку Елену объявили под защиту ювенального суда. Это означало, что мне не разрешат видеться с ней, но мой бывший отказался от алиментов и расходов на проживание.

Я думаю, что одной из причин неудачи моего брака была моя бедность. Она принадлежала к лондонскому высшему классу, а я был бедным влюбленным студентом. Я думаю, что я все еще здесь. Что ж, любовь побеждает смерть.

Катастрофические события заставили меня снова жениться через церковь в Испании. С этим браком я попал в портативный ад, в комнату ужасов, пыток, невнимательности, презрения и даже рогоносцев, но здесь я тоскую по той английской любви, которая заставляла меня мечтать, которая побуждала меня писать.

  Сегодня Хелен — красивая работница по уходу за детьми, работающая в лучшем родильном доме города Темзы, а Сюзанна — красивая семидесятилетняя женщина с седыми волосами и древовидной улыбкой.

Да благословит Бог их обоих

Эта последняя книга представляет собой вершину объемистого айсберга неопубликованных статей. Я бью по клавишам уже более шестидесяти лет и, вцепившись в них, умру. Да здравствует любовь, я яростно ударю двадцать четыре белые пули, которые лишат меня последнего вздоха.

 I am publishing “Letters to Helen, my English daughter,” whom I barely knew

My twelfth book appears in the Sevillian newspaper Puntorojo. There are 241 bone pages and at the end an album with photos of a lifetime.

I tried to build an internal novel and the result was a satire. It focuses on a woman who was the reason for my existence, but hidden within the angel is the satanic and the tragedy: Suzanne's thyroid disease, which caused me to have a mental breakdown (equine depression),

Immediately afterwards I got into my Mini with a few books and a guitar and returned to Spain, giving up my house in Edenthorpe and my job as a teacher at a school in Yorkshire, looking for work in Spain and writing reports on everything that entailed moved and how Through my persistence I realized my career dream of becoming a correspondent in London.

   Suzanne had made a miraculous recovery from thyroid cancer and this encouraged me to visit her in Essex. They didn't welcome me, and rightly so. I asked the Virgin in the midst of my despair and I believe that she healed me. I even reached Lisieux, one of the shrines I visited and whose healing meant my life to cure cancer.

   This book is a convulsive train of misery and regret, an account of madness and a gratitude to the Providence that has saved me, my sinner, from so many dangers. The pain of attrition hovers over his sides. I am remorseful for having been a villain.

   By the way. I unforgivingly criticize the stubborn feminism that prevents parents from seeing their children and is the cause of many disputes and even murders. His marriage to Suzanne was dissolved by the church and she obtained a restraining order.

The girl Helen was placed under the protection of the juvenile court. This meant that I wasn't allowed to see her, but my ex waived alimony and living expenses.

I think one of the reasons my marriage failed was my poverty. She was upper class in London and I was a poor, lovelorn student. I think I still am. Well, love conquers death.

Disastrous events led me to remarry in church in Spain. With this marriage, I entered a portable hell, a chamber of horrors, torture, ruthlessness, contempt, and even cuckoldry, but here I long for the English love that made me dream and that made me write.

   Today Helen is a beautiful childcare worker working in the city's best maternity hospital on the Thames, and Suzanne is a beautiful septuagenarian with gray hair and a tree-like smile.

God bless them both

This final book is the crest of an extensive iceberg of unpublished work. I've been pressing the keys for over sixty years and if I hold on to it, I'll die. Long live love, I will fire furiously at the twenty-four white cartridges that will take my last breath away.

 Ich veröffentliche „Briefe an Helen, meine englische Tochter“, die ich kaum kannte

Mein zwölftes Buch erscheint in der sevillanischen Zeitung Puntorojo. Es gibt 241 Knochenseiten und am Ende ein Album mit Fotos eines Lebens.

Ich habe versucht, einen internen Roman aufzubauen, und dabei ist eine Satire herausgekommen. Es konzentriert sich auf eine Frau, die der Grund für meine Existenz war, aber in dem Engel sind das Satanische und die Tragödie verborgen: Suzannes Schilddrüsenerkrankung, die bei mir einen geistigen Zusammenbruch verursachte (Pferdedepression),

Unmittelbar danach stieg ich in meinen Mini mit ein paar Büchern und einer Gitarre und kehrte nach Spanien zurück, gab mein Haus in Edenthorpe und meinen Job als Lehrerin an einer Schule in Yorkshire auf, suchte Arbeit in Spanien und verfasste Berichte über alles, was dazu gehörte bewegt und wie Durch meine Hartnäckigkeit verwirklichte ich den Traum meiner Karriere, Korrespondent in London zu werden.

  Suzanne hatte sich auf wundersame Weise von ihrem Schilddrüsenkrebs erholt und das ermutigte mich, sie in Essex zu besuchen. Sie hießen mich nicht willkommen, und das zu Recht. Ich habe die Jungfrau inmitten meiner Verzweiflung gefragt und ich glaube, dass sie sie geheilt hat. Ich erreichte sogar Lisieux, eines der Heiligtümer, die ich besuchte und deren Heilung mein Leben für die Heilung von Krebs bedeutete.

  Dieses Buch ist ein krampfhafter Zug aus Elend und Bedauern, ein Abriss des Wahnsinns und eine Dankbarkeit gegenüber der Vorsehung, die mich, meine Sünderin, vor so vielen Gefahren bewahrt hat. Der Schmerz der Zermürbung schwebt über seinen Seiten. Ich bin reuig darüber, ein Schurke gewesen zu sein.

  Übrigens. Ich kritisiere unversöhnlich den hartnäckigen Feminismus, der Eltern daran hindert, ihre Kinder zu sehen, und der die Ursache vieler Streitigkeiten und sogar Morde ist. Seine Ehe mit Suzanne wurde von der Kirche aufgelöst und sie erwirkte eine einstweilige Verfügung.

Das Mädchen Helen wurde unter den Schutz des Jugendgerichts gestellt. Das bedeutete, dass ich sie nicht sehen durfte, meine Ex jedoch auf Unterhalt und Lebenshaltungskosten verzichtete.

Ich glaube, einer der Gründe für das Scheitern meiner Ehe war meine Armut. Sie gehörte zur Londoner Oberschicht und ich war ein armer, verliebter Student. Ich glaube, das bin ich immer noch. Nun, die Liebe besiegt den Tod.

Katastrophale Ereignisse führten dazu, dass ich in Spanien erneut kirchlich heiratete. Mit dieser Heirat betrat ich eine tragbare Hölle, eine Kammer des Schreckens, der Folter, der Rücksichtslosigkeit, der Verachtung und sogar der Hahnrei, aber hier sehne ich mich nach der englischen Liebe, die mich zum Träumen brachte und die mich zum Schreiben veranlasste.

  Heute ist Helen eine wunderschöne Kinderbetreuerin, die in der besten Entbindungsklinik der Stadt an der Themse arbeitet, und Suzanne ist eine wunderschöne Siebzigjährige mit grauem Haar und einem baumähnlichen Lächeln.

Gott segne sie beide

Dieses letzte Buch ist der Gipfel eines umfangreichen Eisbergs unveröffentlichter Arbeiten. Ich drücke seit mehr als sechzig Jahren in die Tasten und wenn ich mich daran festhalte, werde ich sterben. Es lebe die Liebe, ich werde wütend auf die vierundzwanzig weißen Patronen schießen, die mir den letzten Atem rauben werden.

THESE TWO WOMEN WERE THE REASON OF MY LIFE O LORD KEEP THEM IN HEALTH HAPPINESS AND PROSPERITY AND FORGIVE MY SINS

 PUBLICO “CARTAS A HELEN MI HIJA INGLESA” A QUIEN APENAS CONOCÍ

 

En la esitrorial sevillana Puntorojo sale a la luz mi duodécimo libro. Son 241 paginas en hueso y un álbum con fotos de una vida al final.

Traté de construir una novela interior y me ha salido una satira. Se centra en una mujer que fue la razón de mi existir, pero en lo angélico se oculta lo satánico y la tragedia: una enfermedad del tiroides de Suzanne que me causó un mental break down (una depresión de caballo),

Acto seguido, monté en mi mini con unos cuantos libros y una guitarra y me volvía para España abandonando mi casa en Edenthorpe y el empleo de profesor en un colegio del Yorkshire, busqué trabajo en España, hice reportajes a todo lo que se movía y como resultado a mi tesón conseguí el sueño de mi carrera ser corresponsal en Londres.

 Suzanne había mejorado milagrosamente de su cáncer  tiroideo y eso me animó a visitarla en Essex, no me recibieron y con razón. Se lo pedí a la Virgen en medio de mi desesperación y creo que Ella la curó. Llegué incluso en Lisieux, uno de los santuarios que visité,ofreciendo mi vida a cambio de su curación del cáncer.

 Este libro  son unos trenos convulsos de misereres y arrepentimientos, un esquema de la locura, y un agradecimiento a la providencia que me salvó de tantos peligros, pecador de mí. Flota sobre sus páginas el dolor de atrición. Contrito estoy por haber sido un canalla.

 De paso. Hago una crítica implacable al feminismo torcaz que impide a los padres ver a sus hijos, siendo esto el origen de muchísimas querellas e incluso de asesinatos. El matrimonio con Suzanne se disolvió por la iglesia y ella obtuvo una orden de alejamiento.

La niña Helen fue declarada bajo la protección del tribunal de menores. Ello significaba que no se me permitiría verla pero mi ex renunció a la alimonia o gastos de manutención. Porque yo era muy pobre.

Creo que una de las razones del fracaso de mi matrimonio fue mi pobreza. Ella pertenecía a la high class londinense y yo era un piernas, un pobre estudiante enamorado hasta la patas. Creo que lo sigo estando. Pues el amor vence a la muerte.

Hechos calamitosos me llevaron a contraer nupcias de nuevo por la iglesia en España. Ingresé, con ese casamiento, en un infierno portátil, cámara de los horrores, suplicios, desconsideraciones, desprecios e incluso cuernos, pero aquí estoy añorando aquel amor inglés, que me hizo soñar, que me impulsó a escribir.

 Helen hoy es una guapa puericultora que trabaja en la mejor maternidad de la ciudad del Támesis y Suzanne un bellísima septuagenaria con el pelo cano y su sonrisa arborescente.

God bless them both

Este último libro es la cresta de un iceberg voluminoso de papeles inéditos. Llevo dándole a las teclas más de sesenta años y aferrado a ellas moriré. Viva el amor, golpearé con furia las veinticuatro redondas blancas que se llevarán mi postrer aliento.
