Part 9

Sueltas sus trenzas claras y sedosas, Y oprimiendo mi mano entre sus manos, Parece que medita en muchas cosas Al mirar como juegan sus hermanos....

¡Inocencia! ¡Niñez! ¡Dichosos nombres! Amo tus goces, busco tus cariños; ¡Cómo han de ser los sueños de los hombres Más dulces que los sueños de los niños!

CANTOS DE PÁJARO

Tengo yo un pajarillo Que el día pasa Cantando entre las flores De mi ventana; Y un canto alegre A todo pasajero Dedica siempre. Tiene mi pajarillo Siempre armonías Para alegrar el alma Del que camina.... ¡Oh cielo santo, Por qué no harán los hombres Lo que los pájaros! Cuando mi pajarillo Cantos entona, Pasajeros ingratos Cantos le arrojan: Mas no por eso Niega sus armonías Al pasajero. Tiende las leves alas, Cruza las nubes Y canta junto al cielo Con voz más dulce: «Paz á los hombres Y gloria al que en la altura Rige los orbes!» Y yo sigo el ejemplo Del ave mansa Que canta entre las flores De mi ventana, Porque es sabido Que poetas y pájaros Somos lo mismo.

CANCIÓN

El clavel que tú me diste El día de la Ascensión, No fué clavel, sino clavo Que clavó mi corazón.

En enero no hay claveles, Porque los marchita el hielo; En tu cara los hay siempre, Porque lo permite el Cielo.

(From _Simón Verde_.)

¡BELLO ES VIVIR!

¡Bello es vivir, la vida es la armonía! Luz, peñascos, torrentes y cascadas, Un sol de fuego iluminando el día, Aire de aromas, flores apiñadas: Y en medio de la noche majestuosa Esa luna de plata, esas estrellas, Lámparas de la tierra perezosa, Que se ha dormido en paz debajo de ellas. ¡Bello es vivir! Se ve en el horizonte Asomar el crepúsculo que nace; Y la neblina que corona el monte En el aire flotando se deshace; Y el inmenso tapiz del firmamento Cambia su azul en franjas de colores; Y susurran las hojas en el viento, Y desatan su voz los ruiseñores.

* * * * *

¡Bello es vivir, la vida es la armonía! Luz, peñascos, torrentes y cascadas, Un sol de fuego iluminando el día, Aire de aromas, flores apiñadas.

(From _Indecisión_.)

¡EXCELSIOR!

¿Por qué los corazones miserables, Por qué las almas viles, En los fieros combates de la vida Ni luchan ni resisten?

El espíritu humano es más constante Cuanto más se levanta: Dios puso el fango en la llanura, y puso La roca en la montaña.

La blanca nieve que en los hondos valles Derrítese ligera, En las altivas cumbres permanece Inmutable y eterna.

RIMAS: XIII

Tu pupila es azul, y cuando ríes, Su claridad süave me recuerda El trémulo fulgor de la mañana Que en el mar se refleja.

Tu pupila es azul, y cuando lloras, Las transparentes lágrimas en ella Se me figuran gotas de rocío Sobre una vïoleta.

Tu pupila es azul, y si en su fondo, Como un punto de luz, radia una idea, Me parece en el cielo de la tarde Una perdida estrella.

RIMAS: LIII

Volverán las obscuras golondrinas En tu balcón sus nidos á colgar, Y, otra vez, con el ala á sus cristales Jugando llamarán;

Pero aquéllas que el vuelo refrenaban Tu hermosura y mi dicha á contemplar, Aquéllas que aprendieron nuestros nombres... Ésas... ¡no volverán!

Volverán las tupidas madreselvas De tu jardín las tapias á escalar, Y otra vez á la tarde, aun más hermosas, Sus flores se abrirán;

Pero aquéllas, cuajadas de rocío, Cuyas gotas mirábamos temblar Y caer, como lágrimas del día... Ésas... ¡no volverán!

Volverán del amor en tus oídos Las palabras ardientes á sonar; Tu corazón de su profundo sueño Tal vez despertará;

Pero mudo y absorto y de rodillas, Como se adora á Dios ante su altar, Como yo te he querido... desengáñate, ¡Así no te querrán!

LOS CONSEJOS DE UN PADRE

=José Echegaray=, b. Madrid, 1833. Echegaray has been professor of engineering in the Engineering College, Madrid, member of Parliament (_Cortes_), and Minister of Commerce, of Education and of Finance. He is the most prominent Spanish dramatist of today. In 1907 the Nobel prize of forty thousand dollars for excellence in idealistic literature was divided between Echegaray and the Provençal poet, Federico Mistral. The dramas of Echegaray, though sometimes commonplace and often gloomy, treat modern social problems with great skill. Among the best known are _El gran Galeoto_, _Ó locura ó santidad_, _El poder de la impotencia_, _El loco dios_, and _Mancha que limpia_.

=1.=--[1.3] =rey futuro=, 'future king.' A qualifying adjective usually follows its noun.

[1.5] =le daba=, 'was giving him.' A personal pronoun object usually precedes its verb.

[1.7] =del hombre=, 'from man.' The article is required because the noun is used in a general sense to denote all of the thing or class it names.--=le decía=, 'he said to him.' Note that a personal pronoun subject may be omitted.--=no pretendas=, 'do not attempt.' The subjunctive, and not the imperative, is used in a negative command.

[1.10] =domínalos=, 'subdue them.' The personal pronoun object follows the positive imperative, and is attached to it so that the verb and pronoun form one word.

[1.16] =le podrías lanzar=, 'you could hurl him.' Note that =le= is the object of =lanzar=.

[1.19] =los de=, 'those of.'

[1.24] =¿Tendrá?= 'can he have?' The future indicative may be used instead of the present, to denote probability or conjecture.

[1.25] =orgullosos=, 'proudly.' A predicate adjective is often used instead of an adverb.

=2.=--[2.2] =la=, 'his.' The definite article is often used instead of a possessive adjective.

[2.8] =murió el león padre=. Note that the subject often follows the verb.

[2.10] =éste=, 'the latter.'

[2.11] =los leones=, 'lions.' See note, page 1, l. 7.--=se tendió=, 'he stretched himself out.' Note that =se= is here to be translated by the reflexive pronoun 'himself.'

[2.13] =se quedó=, 'he remained.' Note that =se= is not to be translated.

[2.14] =se unieron=, 'were brought together' (or 'were united'). Note that the reflexive is to be translated here, as often, by the passive voice.

[2.19] =hasta cerrar=, 'until he closed.'

[2.25] =fué soñando con=, 'he was dreaming of.' But =fué= is from _ir_ (see _ir_ in Vocab.).

[2.27] =¿Sería?= 'could... be?' The conditional indicative may be used to denote remote or past probability. See note, page 1, l. 24.

[2.28] =Á=: do not translate.

[2.31] =Debía de ser=, 'it must have been.'

=3.=--[3.8] =se dice=, 'is said.'

[3.13] =se le enredó á una pierna=, 'wrapped itself about one of his legs.' Note that =le==='his.'

[3.22] =que=, 'for.'

[3.24] =serpiente= is the subject of =forcejeó=.

[4.19] =por=, 'with regard to.'

[4.20] =lo rastrero y venenoso=, 'his crawling and venomous ways.'--=á quien... le=, 'whose...' These are datives of possession; and =le= is redundant.

[4.23] =valiente=: see note, page 1, l. 25.

[4.28] =me... á mi=: translate with an emphatic 'me.'

[4.31] =tendrá=, 'must have.' This is the future of probability or conjecture.

5.--[5.1] =como no sean=, 'unless it be.'

[5.16] =¿sería?= 'could... be?': conditional of probability or conjecture.

[5.21] =al hablar=, 'when speaking.' Note that Spanish _al_+infin.=English 'upon' or 'when'+pres. part.

6.--[6.8] =Aquel que=, 'that one who.'

[6.18] =lucha= is subject.

[6.22] =al dar el león=, 'when the lion gave.' Note that, by exception, =al dar= can not well be translated 'when giving,' since the verb has a subject (=león=).

[7.19] =para sí=, 'to himself.'

[7.25] =hay que=, 'I must' (lit., 'one must').

CASILDA

=Antonio de Trueba y Quintana=, b. 1821, in the Basque country of northern Spain; d. 1889. Trueba was a poet and writer of popular tales. He was conservative and monarchic; but he loved the common people and delighted in collecting their traditions, which he worked over and embellished to suit his taste before publishing. His works are pervaded by a genial, kindly humor. Works: verse,--_El libro de los cantares_ and _El libro de las montañas_; tales,--_Cuentos populares_, _Nuevos cuentos populares_, _Cuentos de color de rosa_, _Cuentos campesinos_, _Narraciones populares_, _Cuentos de madres é hijos_, et al.

=Casilda= is one of the prettiest,--perhaps the prettiest,--of the many Spanish-Moorish traditions. Trueba took the story from a Spanish poem by the Jesuit Pedro de Reynosa (printed at Madrid in 1727), and he put it into simple, graceful prose. Saint Casilda is held in especial veneration in the province of Burgos.

The student of Spanish literature must keep in mind that the Mohammedan Moors and Arabs entered Spain from Africa in 711 and became possessed of a large part of the peninsula, and it was only after seven centuries of warfare that the Spaniards were able to reconquer the entire country (with the capture of Granada, in 1492). The Moorish invasion has left a deep impress on the Spanish race,--on the character of the people, and on their languages and customs.

=8.=--[8.2] =Fernando el Grande=, the first king of Castile (1037-1065).

[8.11] =pierden á la que=, 'lose the one who.'

[8.14] =Se le murió su madre=, 'her mother died.'

[8.18] =había=, 'there were.' Cf. the pres. ind. _hay_.

[8.22] =oyó=, etc. The English order would be: _oyó [á] los pobres cautivos gemir_. Usually, a dependent infinitive immediately follows _oir_, _ver_, _mirar_, _hacer_, etc.

[8.23] =lleno su corazón==_su corazón lleno_.

=9.=--[9.3] =¡Señor padre!= 'My lord and father!'

[9.4] =Quítales=, 'take from them': _les_ is dative of separation.
