PROLOGUE
The memories we build on our experiences and
our works are an effort to organize the official history
of the personal existence are, in other words, the
contribution we bequeath to biographers who will
study the paths that crossed our footprints and fingerprints
that opened transit paths in our field.
Usually, the memories are narrated in the first person as
a monologue whose echoes are reproduced on each page
and whispers glide lines to the ears. The Memoirs of Don
Julio Olivera, however, slide of reason and affection affection
reason in mind transit as magical as the landscape that
contextualizes his account or as the challenge of his pen.
Thus Volume III after mentioning, with the subtle style Olivera,
to Quichez - Purhuay - on the banks of the Marañon
sihuasinas and the famous alleys and Conchucos Huaylas,
opens the envelopes of the letters exchanged between Hector
Chênedollé and Albertina while developing a natural
bridge between friendship and love. It opens more envelopes
to fill us with epistolary genre that shows the life
cycle of love: bloom and wilt. What tenderness, passion
to flourish much affection, the love lines are sweet, warm
and full of gratitude to the subject of love. In contrast, how
much dignity in the complaint, when cold elegant kind
words, how to cross the bridge without affection wilt.
Olivera write the letters of both senders who are also both
recipients; unique and creative style complex, especially
when you consider the difference in gender, age and edu8

cational background of the characters. It seems that our author
shares the speech of one of them when he says: “In this
material life there souls tuning”, the tune that encourages
and empowers the possibility of mutual understanding.
The second part of Volume III is just a challenge to understanding,
Olivera us in History of a real process, the
legal intricacies that originated following the murder of
Haydee Suarez. The procedural flaws are presented as
legal trends, including case number, but also presented
as an interactive story of mystery and suspense in which
the reader becomes a critical analyst to discover or syndicate
the real criminal ... Does not the same traditional
society with a justice system that is not blindfolded although
the reason as to admit an expert medical opinion
in which “doctors” raise a autopsy without seeing the
body, much less analyzed their wounds, and what makes
it easier to organize the innocent than accept a suicide?
Following the questions, ask ourselves why these stories
in a collection of memories, and what Olivera us to see
through them?, From what stage aims to share your experience?
A trick to resolve these issues and know more on the
facet phase and we want to show is unraveling in reading
their texts and symbolizing the designation of his work.
Live challenge whose theme song is the poet’s plea echoes
“Shut me off Lord, my body is an alabaster dazzled, / / my
veins snake runaway chariot, / / my blush is the golden
blaze of the vacancy / / that arouses the greed of jackals “.

DAYS OF SEPTEMBER
“Rape and misfortune”
I
Yes, today is September 11th and we are in Bar Harbor,
to the NE of the State of Maine, as if we were in Cuzco
(Peru) at the top of Machu Picchu, compared to the
Inti-Huatana (Which is tied to the Sun). We are facing
a place where the sun comes first in the Americas, is a
hilltop surrounded by forests and lakes on a corner that
makes the sea, cove in Acadia National Park. Here wakes
earlier than in other hemispheres.
Today we remember the carnage of the Twin Towers at
the World Trade Center in New York, where he blew over
three thousand innocent of all bloods. Such vandalism
mourned the world and served to condemn all terrorist
action.
Other holidays you remember this month, Hispanic
Heritage Month, the festival of 14 in the Andean highlands,
the day of the Exaltation of the Cross, in Corongo;
festival of Lord of the Souls in Conchucos and spring
comes and the novenas of Our Lady of Mercy. So September
is to remember.

Here in Bar Harbor, born on pristine and resplendent
silvery sea, lined with sailboats and cruise ships. Gold
Darts ripping dawn muslins and corundum descorren a
sky blue opal lilied; waves widen the dawn light and wispy
clouds and cherubs wings fade into the horizon. Goldsmith:

bright tails and halos, crimped diamonds corollas of flowers,
arabesques and sequins makes the liquid emerald sea,
effigies of angels punched nimbar auroras. Bubbles in the
waterfalls as a river of topaz, makes phosphoresce dew and
radiate the magical light of the prisms, engages in lampo
melody of the stars and in a flash the chromatic scale. Drill

magnificent, splendid, flames on the crest of the forest or
in the hair of the nymphs, sea billows smooth or curved
lines of the Bayadere, calcined aloes, sandalwood and fragrant
resins, juices aspires subtle and gives to spread the
perfume of the flowers in the folds jingles, makes flying
butterflies meadows and gulls wakes beaches. Nothing
dull. The blue combo widens and becomes speculate. At
this time the sky has a diamond clarity and exquisite infiltrates
in the heart and mind. Low Solar burning ferns
fall, vibrate and twitch spasm forests in paradise. Descend
pompous, opulent and morbid, overflowing, blinding, exhaling
breaths of tropical lujurian.
Then comes the miracle of pm. Surge otherwise the
shadow as visual and poetic. Orange purple mantles and
project progress on a stage opalescent blue. The maturity
and sorrow give her melancholy tone. A languid evocation

remembrance descends to the souls like a caress and a
light pale amethyst constellations and gives pupils reflect
its tone violet on a transflorados chrysoprases field. Home
of Muses, to cradle idyllic dreams and longings lulled.
It’s time for the esfuminos and madrigal. The shape and
sound dilute their pace and cover the scene of a fall tersidad,
unreal and untouchable. The bas-relief and the semitone
has on them their source of inspiration.
Twilight as a lace and bloodless sunlight settles on
things like lightning and caress. Amid declining lily and
poppy tone progresses and an atmosphere of gloom and
pink moire makes dreamy. In the torsos rose from the
rocks and on the slopes of the hills the last rays of light left
in profusion strokes and sepia old gold. The evening becomes
tremulous, prudish and angelic. In the dim twilight
clarity offering as a poem in verse or tenderness sweetest
melody. The scent of nature expands like a perfume enervating.
It’s time cooing and the eclogue, the seagulls and
the souls given to navigate the illusion and fantasy.
Comes the sunset: sidereal melody and eloquence. In
the marine boundary setting sun makes the gold budge
voracious ignitions. Ruby is a clot. The summit reflects the
great golden stone and the whole landscape glows trivial
and scarlet. It’s time for the rainbow: polychrome fluorescent
under its arcades enters the setting sun. In the marine

and drunkenness and delirium multicolored party exasperates
the senses and gives a pictorial lyricism to the
environment.
Ensues night, a prelude distant rhythm melody contours
mystery. First a resonant and clear opacity draws
his mellifluous tone, after dark dye prints advertised
gloom laden with mystery and enigma. The storm in this
area and Lightning fugitive light in darkness unheard
added a note of dread. However, the inhabitants of the
peninsula looks forward to the evening, the atmosphere
alone is fascinated, adventure and romance as attract. The
epic song springs each unpublished increasingly these
ineffable confidences between souls and night from the
viewpoint of Wonder View. Deep and unfathomable in
the cove, huge, livid in the foothills of the stony rock, clear
and spiritual at the edge of the sky. In the jaws of the sea
caves and ravines the intricacies of the night is abandoned
and is populated and full of ghosts. The tradition dazzles
the imagination with the story of ghosts goblins pirates
and dances. And the night is dark and populated and full
of fantasy and mystery. The myth and legend come here
a relief unsuspected.
The moon has a special place in painting and in poetry.
By among patches studded with bright a halo of gold dust
in the sky projects. The birth of the moon and the landscape
shudders of excitement and anxiety. The moonlight
silvered puts his note to Bar Harbor Creek and nacreous
and ambarada irradiation, its languid glow, sickly sweetness
and candor, his stunned stupor, his naïve give things
pale coloration melancholy. At the summit the moon
shines its splendid comeliness: it is emerging from the

the sea, sailing fleet in the rivers, drained by the branches
waking nymphs and naiads the shore. A unusual melody,
gives the moon spectrum lividity of sadness and grief.
The melody empties his anguish and pain, overcome by
grief, transfixed by the moon.
In the bay the moon is shown opulent sets on the
foliage of forests mica plates and when the wind rocks the
earth seeps branches like a shower of spray. In the streets
and avenues displays his languid touches Vestal. Under
its protection the minstrel full of inspirations unleashes
his grief or graces your dreams with the melody of the
music of violins and herons.

From Corongo go down the road of “Shingles” to Pakatqui,
their inclination is very strong, zig-zag up piercing
the hill at a height of more than three thousand meters of
sheer rock. Contorts as lean reptiles. On the surface of
the rocks are snails spots observed with curiosity travelers.
The road is perfect, the slope becomes insensitive and
cheerful the descent. A espeluzna distance, close up is
cozy. Instead “The Blade” is backwards, seems benign.

with gold from its fruit and emerald foliage giving a flavor
orchards and gardens of paradise.
The landscape is a rhythmic stamping and color, the
loneliness is an abstraction, a scenario of peace and a
dreamy atmosphere, unfolds its charms one and the other
will crown cauda. The landscape reveals how idealizes
and loneliness. The landscape here is the emergence of
beauty in the universe, loneliness is an aura of spirituality
and spell.
The scenery becomes grander in solitude, more subtle
and more eloquent. The souls distressed by the mystery
they feel closer.
One way to penetrate into the bowels of Pakatqui is
contemplation: rapturous love and understanding consciousness.
Loneliness lends his scenario, it becomes tender
to be and more affordable nature. The more `soft
melody or imperceptible light lampo feels enlarged. It’s
like if one could see the sound waves of music or listen to
the crackling of a halo or the joy of a flower bud when it
opens to kiss light. The aroused reaction is a tender and
profound poetic emotion.
The solitude here is not a mere abstraction or an empty
word and audible verbal reflection. Solitude has a
function and vital content, has a perspective and horizon
occupies a place in space and spirit. Is projected and reflected
illusions and nostalgia suggests. Loneliness is like
the melody of silence or the echo of the stage, is a deeply
spiritual position content. There is strength in her anguish
that leads into vaporous abstractions and makes us float,
which eventually disappear us the soul of the cosmos and
then lull in their melodic voices and disseminates expands
15
DAYS SETEMBER
us into infinity.
When we are absorbed by the calm of things or the fascination
of dreams or when the gaze of the soul disappears
after the escape of a stump or flying of a cloudscape are
touched by loneliness. Transported and absorbed, lonely
and isolated, saturated with idealism and amid a sidereal
ecstasy but we can not navigate at infinity as lulled by the
music that orchestrated the scent of the leaves.
The solitude here is a vital position in your fellowship
spirit with the landscape is an area of peace and stillness.
In these regions of ideality sheds soul lusts, collected, and
scrutinizes dream, the fantasy becomes wider, encompassing
vision and intuition infinite horizons achieved
amazing fruits.
The loneliness is within fecund ideas are born of them
immortal and pure forms beauty. The loneliness is content
edifying soul populate it insensitive and pristine nature.
Loneliness is an evocation and emotion: this is an
aspiration of the spirit and a sense of poetic outpourings
that explains the anointing of the hermits and the fervor of
the mystic.

groundbreaking ceremony to the discipline. Sausages
fried with potatoes, avocado salad or tuna juice and broth
never missing head, shácue shambar or, once in a while.
The laborers were preparing to daily work in the fields,
some woodcutters, others worked in farming and children
cared for cows, pigs and goats, which made a prodigious
and thriving livestock in the area.
The ñata Maria was the cook on duty, had the hollow
face and fierce, for lack of nose, eaten away by the “uta”,
to the snack for employers and workers from many years
ago and carried a youthful joy in the villages.
Atacho, was in charge of the “mill” and the hacienda

slingshot and the “guaraca”. Here is congealed in the stills

were natural soap and antiseptic foam shell left.
Usually spent the holidays in September from 14 in
Corongo or used to go to the “farm” often. Went hunting
with the “Winchester “Familiar with horses” Culebrita
“or” The Tito “, which marked the passage in place; very
harnessed and full of verve, turtle mount, wide stirrups
and ornate silver jets that were the best of the stables.
Atacho was dating guide who entertained me with his
usual horse thieves and cattle rustlers stories. Only once a
year could see. From sourness, despot, cold and calculating,
sniffing every natural phenomenon, but it was a powerful
man, being Tápaco of the property and took care of
me.
It was said that Atacho lived in their own way and did
not allow more than meddling grandfather Ezekiel. Cholo
was dark, tall, brown eyes were quite clear that glowed in
a strange way, it was hard and strong.
! Never mess with him! Etelvina mama told me, you’ll
never break and of course that we’ll listen. He lives at
your leisure, but we were friends despite knowing that
her pride collapsed to feel self-conscious and full of pain
knowing that I was the boss’s son. I guess he felt angry
like all settlers of the place.
We rode down the canyon on the trail of a wounded
deer and Juliana used to tell his girlfriend, who was in
charge on the estate of Requirement homemade Grandma.
Supe that they liked a lot. Needed to form a family
told me. She was a woman of home. Knowing that meant
a lot in life of Atacho, so I wanted to find out for sure one
of those days in September.

We got off the horse, tied him strong in the rings of the
terrace of the house and went stomping with prey in their
hands. It was a tender doe.
Juliana was too beautiful and modern, very young life
had to offer more than a rural life dull and boring. It was
a lovely girl, gentle, dark, with black eyes, loose hips,
breasts provident, with many years of relationships, they
had everything organized and I think it was enough to
raise a family.
I mean it you told me Atacho child, not if you think like
me. I’m working, I get married, have children and adore
my wife. Juliana and I over the years we have understood
perfectly. I am excited, I want to be my life.
`Juliana was more attractive than beautiful, but its appeal
had a special angel. The whole community said it
was the most sexy chola Valley, a woman who liked her
eighteen years.

The farmers who came down from the other estates to
the party of the people kidnapped at night and Juliana
the Zarca Rosa , To sate his drunken and probably dirty
sexual appetites. Atacho aware of the fact with the foremen
desperate looking everywhere and found a “lliclla”
Juliana and followed its trail on the way to the cowardly
captors. Back in the “Breaking” parochial party probably
have to see them.
You realize child? With the flat position, the date of the
wedding and Juliana suddenly disappears. Atacho was
19
DAYS SETEMBER
desperate and was not at least, everything was ready to
get married and had through many years of serious relationships.
Nobody understood why the rapture had occurred
no sign of life in any of the girls. Juliana was his
true dream, your future, your present. They agreed the
wedding these days of September. They made love for a
long time and decided to get married and have a family.
Atacho wondering here and there, going by the pens
with dogs, in the hamlets and pongos, looking for traces
of his girlfriend but no one gave him reasons, except that
there were many strange people coming up to town to the
“Feast the 14 “ .
The Church operates a social activity certainly picturesque.
Religious holidays with his entourage multicolor
processions and parades enrich the landscape. There is
an anxiety in waiting and worrying fervor in proximity
to the festivities of this day of September. It is a religious
and social turmoil. Youth turns his vehemence and hearts
quench their anguish. Also bring in its wake, armed robbery
and drunkenness. But religious faith grows and spirits
anoint a mystical piety. The lavish pomp of a liturgy
becomes more grandiose and solemn, adds color and celebrity.
To this august occasion comes up all the wealth of
worship, its ceremonies and gala choreography, his rite
of celebration, his florid style. Images flaunt their rich
and jeweled dresses, priests and their ornaments of gold
and preens to membership in their best clothes. It is a fair
sumptuousness and luxury .. transports and dazzle as saffron
robes, gold brocade and trimmed with chrysoberyls

and glow chalice covers its whiteness through festoons of
gold. In the Temple of San Pedro de Corongo, the profusion
of candles excites the imagination, the flowers everywhere
and offerings of her perfume and tulle veils hanging
from the apses are lost in the cloud of incense. The
voices of the choir languish in this atmosphere, and snatch
conturban, bounce in the vaults, penetrate souls and make
you dream and rise in the melody. In the Lord’s desclave
Holy Week , The faithful touched by the scene of Calvary
snatch in tears, burst into heartfelt pain. And the masses
flagellated inconsolable sobbing in terror.
After Temple comes polychrome display splendor of
processions. The arrangement of the walk is also a matter
of religious mysticism and special style. In the surrounding
streets “rattles” crackle and betting punctuate the
mood. There are columns of wax tufts snatch and altars
matches multicolored, embossed and carved with care.
But what stands out most are the wax castles, monuments
of art true devotees carry on their men, while troupes of
festivities cabriolean a dance native to the “champaras.” Is
the dance of the “Shacshas”.
Such language and liturgy in religious festivals these
days of September. Through them an emanation of beauty
springs or magnetic fluid so loved and longed for Catholic
worship.
In this event “The Breakdown” by legendary fame, is
where the popular bands in one of the nights of the festival
offer its melody unnerving. The devotees with candle
in hand dancing their dream; dressed couples burst to the
center and give the intoxication of dance. Women or men

intrigue are delivered to the whirl of the dance. Maybe
that’s why the Zarca kidnapped and Juliana. Bubbling
the drink and sherry or anise Monkey, an occasional cry
goes out in the noise or moan like a compass the party.
And thousands of souls won in the streets full of melody
meet the rite. The light of dawn to dawn scares couples.
On the sidewalks a aduerme up his vertigo, while the devout
with out the candle still raving nostalgic rhythms .
Romantic couples and swarm of young people who
have given the word or have been abducted to come to
parties come together in corners to the music of “chirocos”
and assume an air of neatness and couples are arenas and
groom their rhythms. Then there is a period of anxiety
and emotional drain. People return to their land or their
villas and nothing ever happened here. Some daring lover
who has prowled after groups after some elusive beauty
of a manotón him away from his partner and bear it. The
rapture as stealthy and bold has warned the unfortunate
man, as Atacho, which has suffered the loss of his beloved.
And music continues undaunted sensual and voluptuous
urging the adventure and bliss.

family’s house who held their assets and warned him that
he had been determined to retrieve native heritage and
that from that moment habíase to have you as owner. And
to the dismay of the family ordered the settlers to follow
him. Thus came John Gregory to Huashcao. Eight days
celebrated that event.
Goyo became the idol of the hacienda. Were the peasants
who made up the name of love. For front stopped being
called to respond to Juan Gregorio Goyo. The parties
founded regained their celebrity. Everything was renovated
and even managed to land yield their best gains.
The simplicity of the countryside, life without complications,
the immensity of the snow, the magnificence of
the foundations of Huascaran that sat in their domains
marveled John Gregory. This gave the music dreamy and
no company but his trusty guitar Lilia ..
That old familiar instrument that the mother had
pressed at the pinnacle of her beauty was to him not only a
relic, but the beloved faithful who accompanied her from
childhood. There was between him and the guitar so that
the strings vibrate entailment the magician’s desire only
as a musical delirium transidas capsized the idea and feeling
of voices populating the stage like abilities. That guitar
was one more person in the family. In arpeggio centuries
had become so sensitive that seemed to speak: the echo of
his voice was enough to make it vibrate. Beside her was
not alone.
That was the great beloved guitar and sublime passion
Goyo. Before she shuddered and felt that his being flooded

every encounter gave him a heartthrob paganism. It was
like the meeting of lovers or as stealthy long awaited appointment.
He took her in his arms with love and reverence, as he
takes a bride. And the vibration of that guitar as bard fantasy
were but a single melody. The as alienated and were
spellbound guitar like one being. And while the fingertips
rested on the ropes as wise or running down the frets like
a flock of dragonflies arpeggios kisses flowed like Goyo
and soul came to a climax and ecstasy.
He never knew why that guitar was called Lilia. Its
shape is accented woman. The recess has those wavy lines
that form the beauty of the body. Scalloped and decorated
with inlaid mother of pearl highlight in her abelia,
Half Moon, Apollo butterfly and other oriental ornaments
based on the lily. On the top two lions standing back holding
a lyre.

romantic destination melodramó scenes of glory and grief
of that exalted women.
In Huashcao guitar in the hands of Goyo liked cosmic
melody, from the cooing of the zephyr in the countryside
to the roar of storms in the snowy summit.
Scholar and a flow rate of legendary tunes in her repertoire
that guitar is now a treasure of the writer of these
lines. It gave John Gregory as a pledge of who to take to
wife Milushka not re-gatherings.
Very recently turned the Bard this promise. Meanwhile,
the guitar is as expected. Air or the echo of a sound vibrates
and recall.
John Gregory had a regal handsomeness and masculinity
arts and music. Head up and strong brow, the wealth
of muscles and their vehement expression gave a size of
fighter. It was the conception of the “David” by Michelangelo.
It is easy to imagine the elegance with which alternated
in social life. It was the epitome of chivalry.
In the taverns did not flag his dominion. In his hands
the cups were like sacred vessels that had to hurry with
reverence. No rites had in their frivolous ways, and never
descended to vulgarity. Manipulating bottles and glasses
as an artist.
It was the crusader of bars and pubs where he went watered
daily dose of fantasy that was necessary. His physical
strength saved him ridiculous scenes drunks. He never
lost his balance. The highlight was the taster and also the
most consistent wine parishioner. With that he poured the
red relish and elegance that offered what seemed to hurry
liquid rubies or carbuncles.

The bountiful nature has given their best clothes to

In the archaic Greek sculpture gods smiled: it was the
attribute of divinity. In women the Callejon de Huaylas
no smile without enraptured gaze or look angelic smile
love without. This smile is an outpouring of being, the
image of the soul or the symphony of his most intimate
desires. Nothing more beautiful or more delicate than a
smile. Whoever gives sublimates, the recipient gets drunk
with happiness.
The power of a smile is here immeasurable. The music
is so exquisite and extraordinary prelude, but most of the
music here has a smile on his lips kisses sheet music that
no human has been able to implement. From painting has
the blush tones that soften, but rather than paint the smile
is here in the rosy cheeks excitement of an illusion that
no brush has been able to capture .. From the sculpture

the literature has the power of eloquence, but more than

the smile of literature has the charm of a language that
soothes and delights. Here is a penetrating look like a light

the conversation of the angels and the word of the gods. A
look and a smile that intersect more poems forge all literary
gold resources.
Here at the meeting point of two looks souls commune

the sketch of a flower that has opened in the heart or the
light of some illusion that has awakened in the soul. Here
the fate of being is in a smile, she lavished the hearts fate

Love never finished. Poe’s passion tube. Each woman
was a new revelation of art. And his whole attitude was
influenced by his erotic euphoria. It was a full sensory
power or giving it power and strength. A rumor saturating
roaring sex life. Something mythical and legendary
that gave him an aura of sexiness that transcended metaphysical
principles: love and creation. That is the meaning
of life for him. As much as sublimated eroticism or

Never had emptiness in my heart. He always lived loving.
There was a womanizer, nor sought satiety: chasing
novelty in the beauty and art. It was like a quest for perfection
or concern to find where diluted. This is a state of
mystical asceticism.
Unstable: was your level of excellence. Never thought
love more than one woman. And it was so. Never had simultaneous
passions. The change was a matter of pace for
him. I thought that was a being estranged lover by passion
and feared that the slightest touch with reality could disfigure
touch which justified that time to pass to another
love. Not that seek an archetype or had in mind the image
of a beloved imaginary, no. Each beloved was for him his
first love, his only love, she exalted and ideal lady. That’s
why I never got to boredom.
Love lit her existence and craving gave eternity that
he carried. Hence every one of his loves were inseparable
and that his secret range of nostalgia and melancholy

The origin of his love came over spiritual emotions of
his physical anxiety. Amar was for him to be in reverie.
To be loved, it was something that went beyond all his
ambition. It was like a deity figure. Never knew where he
came from his passion anxiety, unless you stop to think
that perhaps it was not the consequence of that stormy
search for the impossible or hopeless encounter with unmatched
beauty of his mother.

Despite what their loves and passions eternal life was
not a slave to them, because the next love quickly released
him. Not forget that, no. Sometimes again by the grace
flavor or any of your loved ones. And this was her act reunion
sweeter.
Never was obscene. Despite the wealth of their affair did
not fall in lust. His honesty governed more by moral principles
that gave more substance conventions. Hence his
perenclitud and halo of seduction that give him fame. In
the fire of temptation had enough courage to put Tristan’s
sword between his male arrogance in heat and vehement
outburst of Aphrodite.
Each new love helped him to swing the hobby. In his
arms the beloved is flooded in reverie: a melody was a
caricature. And Goyo as if you pressed only was given to
the rapture chords artistic. So that his desire to raise the
heavenly realms stage to float and dream.
Idealized idealized women as much as love. All his passion
was to worship rather than enjoy. Hence his amatory
metaphysics and delirious that he lived. And not insatiable
dissatisfaction would fill with all the charms of the
earth but above beyond union of souls.
To Goyo love was just a flash of emotion divinity of
man, because it believed that the lover is possessed by a
god and that love was a heavenly grace. On the other hand

much as soon hold him let go and if curled was fastened.
So was bound to be loose. In Milushka gray eyes had this

that tone that emanated lit fire and burned her exotic face.
The slim body, high flexible and eccentric movements had

siege. It exorcised the house and took all precautions. All
to no avail. And when Milushka ever said that an invisible

obliged to change of place.
Such was Milushka. Something in her magic or spell. A
flower chlorotic to which an inner fire was burning as an
incense. We were neighbors of goyo. And the high voltage
of these characters ended up joining them.
Marriage is not the bard bohemian cut short. Milushka
beside it was like a gazelle. Not intended to take advantage
of this union and never interfered with her husband’s
romantic vocation. Juan Gregorio found in Milushka that
ineffable charm that comes from honesty and happiness,
and for him, libertine and precarious these feelings were

There Milushka left as in a temple. Do not mixed in their
affairs. And this sybaritic found a new form of worship beyond
the beauty and the world: in the immortality of the
ideas of harmony and ineffable feelings of goodness. On
this basis and concepts that are not laxative with boredom
nor enervate with pleasure, built his home. Those foundations
were made of carbon diamond of all his passions.
From here in the turmoil of his lovers, his wife lived in the
comfort of your dissatisfaction and the element of your

Goyo not lost her love of bard and musician and livelihoods

his ruin. He reopened his shop and began again his celebrity
until his wife gave him a son, and others. Then Goyo
emigrated. It was established in Lima and was the focus of
the colony.
The sharp struggle daily activity was to undermine his
health and his death came as the end of one of his songs.
The culture of Juan Gregorio was exquisite. The result
more than your intuition and practice of colleges and
academies. His manner had the kindness and sympathy

had to be simple and hard drive were to idealism.

and that the clash of ideas of life and death was a matter of
unity. Never disconsolate and disappointed with this certainty.
In contrast to the problems that arise contradictions
of life, found reasons to believe. It would not accept life as
a learning terrifying death, but as the experience which
exceeds intelligent man and shapes the world.
Hence, only the fate of that holocaust, ie lifestyle, could
sustain a dignified and decent existence and to give the
feeling of immortality that inform notions of tomorrow
and the future. Then what mattered was the style to rule

wonderful scenes which governs melody and drive endlessly
remakes the world.
In the orphan of John Gregory, is where the mystique
of his personality. The sudden death of the mother in full
bloom, the despair and pain of abandonment at the beginning
of life, the myth of the beauty of the woman, so deep
impressions were never moved out of his mind. Love,
beauty and death, a mixture diabolical or satanic liquor to
allocate or despair for humanity. They were also the first
emotions that led to the taverns sinking in the intoxication.
To forward the wine was to be their livelihood and
also the element of regeneration and salvation.
The wine soothed her anxiety and gave him the enjoyment
of taste and feel the pleasure and then escape in
transporting the soul. And there, in that world of dreams
was happy. His fantasy was enriched and bohemian vein
overflowing charged lyricism. Perhaps it was illogical, in
this state of intoxication had gotten hold that a state of imperturbability
and ataraxia is natural pleasure had been
the basis of his theories of coexistence those governed by
the harmony that authority.
In the tavern found a community of unhappy beings
who captained and the lights did not degrade. He created
a mystique and outlined a liturgy. He argued that
drinking and drunkenness was chosen who managed to
scoop through liquor vapors mansions purified traced
Edenic vision of dreams which flooded the soul and heart

Omar Khayyam, a favorite teacher, I try to seek the truth
at the bottom of the pleasures of life, through the wine,

pleasure and enjoyment of life, its refinement in love, its
ethical principles and Platonism and Stoicism that your

And storyteller and dreamer that sank into the softness
like a melodic soliloquy. His awakening to reality was his
daily longing and melancholy temperament that made
him “the blue diamond of bohemia”. There he found Heraclitus
and he knew everything that flows goes and what
remains is the penalty or the memory or the illusion of
being.
It came to the mystical stormy lovemaking, to that state
of mystification to that thirst for intoxication that led him
to be a qualified gymnosophist bohemian rare and crimp
with pantheism and Indian asceticism. Here he attended
one of his favorite teachers, Rabindranath Tagore, architect

an insider. Did not advance. Was enough and amply filled
tagoriana poetics. And tracking down Omar went back to

stayed for satisfaction and conviction and to have found
such similarity with his mystical Andean Indian rebel and

It is these contacts that came oriental taste. He found the

His artistic vocation is revealed in music. Guitar virtuoso
instrument plucked more rapturous harmonies, sang

She sang her melancholy and longing, her grief and joy,

But his masterpiece was undoubtedly the serenade.
Original and dazzling Used garb and with a distinguished

felt his body transmuted. His fevered hands were pinned
to “Lilia” and a great ability prays the tender and soft
pulsing like something desfalleciera, now washed away

For these serenades had the care of choosing appropriate

Then his lyrical hymns or burst into smiles, cries in pain

Goyo was no longer but a vibrating string or be alienated.
And the melody from saturating the scene was, spreading
sweetness and yielding to the angelic maidens in a dream.
Other times the nightly rounds landfall at the foot of
the cemetery. The cemetery that rises like a pyramid provides
concentric platforms where the rows of niches and
mausoleums are an architectural marvel. The day is awesome
and the night is solemn. At the foot of that iron fence
and in front of that cold polished granite steps the voice of
John Gregory tore tore the soul and the heart. The music
went through all the springs distressing pain, was an elegy

John Gregory did not know models and did not try
to imitate anyone. Ignored the grammatical syntax and
poetic meter, so its production is more raw material. So
dissolute style and literary insouciance, without schools
and without isthmuses, hence also its lyrical simplicity,
so clear and soft, non-admitted artifice. His compositions
therefore had to be exempted from schools and alambicamientos.
It came down to a perspective of assonance and
metaphors that revolved around an internal rhythm that
meter franqueaba free, and as far was enough to submit

hence the figures in green or blue, its redundancy zephyr,

His desire for absolute and for unity formed in him that

penetrate the literary anarchism.
Hence his uncontrolled insurgent style schools or morals

ORIGIN OF SNUFF IN AMERICA AND ITS
DISTRIBUTION IN EUROPE
Rodrigo de Xeres and Luis de Torres, commissioned by
Columbus departed from Guanahani (San Salvador) to explore
mainland in 1492, going into the Central American
jungle. They could watch a show never before contemplated,
that the natives of the island threw fire and sipped
smoke from his mouth and nose without causing any apparent
discomfort. The Indians called this plant “Cojiva” or
“Cohiva” and North American Indians called it “Petum”.
In Peru they called “Sayri”. In Martinea and “Yetl”
north of Brazil. The aborigines of the Western Islands
called “Yoli” and “Shayli” in several northern communities
of Ancash.
The name of snuff would come as a instrument in a “Y”
Cuban natives used to get drunk with the exhalations of
smoke. This device is known by the Spanish under the
name of “snuff”. Possibly its name is owed to the province
of Tabasco, instead of New Spain and No Island to Tobago
in the West Indies as some authors.
Native Americans smoked mostly cigars wrapped in
corn husks or palm, others use it in pure, pipes, chewing
and snuff as we note in the box as tentative ecological sequences.
Use of this Solanum, the chroniclers tell us, was used
in rituals and witchcraft. Cobo says that the priests were

After invoking the spirits sang with the things that has offered
the “dacha of love” buries it in a pot and near two
rivers, to what he calls “Tincue”. The Indians believed that
this procedure takes effect while any person may deviate
from that love.
Peru could locate the origin of this plant within the Archaic
and Formative end, having found evidence of its use,
although probably not in the process of domestication.
No doubt the savage stage followed by the experience of
the collector, “their appearance does not mark the estblecimiento
of barbarism”. However we would consider
development level studies. Many plants have been recovered
in archaeological establishments. “The more or less
accurate techniques of cronologización, like Radio Carbon,
allowed the temporary location of the samples and finally,
associations have recovered samples allow their location

The merit of having introduced the snuff in Europe is

As an example see the calculations in the early years of

net weight is 400 ounces to 9 real the pound, would be
$ 285 pesos which was the product of $ 55,411 / 2 pesos
in costs and expenses was a net profit of $ 12.2 pesos. It
shows that being virreynal of 179,200.00 consumption
of cigarettes per year, giving a profit of $ 101,870 pesos.
Whereas each quire for cutting cigarette manufacturing
accustomed cigarettes gives full sheet 60 therefore gives
each quire 13 to 1,600 cigarette paper hands would be required
for 400 ounces of snuff. So 30 ounces for each paper
bouquet.

The Tobacconist was of much benefit to the state and
the public, because the snuff that sale was made was
chosen, good quality and expended caused many engaged
in the manufacture of cigarettes forming a cottage
industry, which resulted in the formation of this
colonial industry that until last century was abolished

of cigarettes, eliminating many of the business

TACABACALERA AGRICULTURE AND INDUSTRY
IN ANCIENT PERUVIAN HACIENDAS
During the Viceroyalty of Peru, Superunda saw tobacco
consumption a source of tax revenue for the Spanish
Crown and obtain a secure collection, establishing a monopoly
on the exploitation and marketing as well as Spain,
about the year 1614, until the Cortes decreed in 1686 the
Tobacconist of Snuff in Spain and Aragon, and having in
Castile in 1636. First creating the Trust in Peru in 1752.
That, in the early years produced significant revenues in
relation to total revenues of the Viceroyalty. The Report of
the Government of the Marquis of Avilés, tells us that the
suppressed Waterproof cigarette manufacturing, which
were sold at 4 reales the “March” #, replacing the Tobacconist
who sold to 2 pesos, the Tobacconist should be
awarded a 300%. However, in practice, the manufacture
of cigarettes, on behalf of the King produced disorder and
harm to the public and did not yield the expected income.
The rents were declining gradually due to the privileges
granted to individuals in the marketing of cigarettes. These
evaded paying taxes and favored smuggling, so that in recent
years the Viceroyalty this income lost its importance.
Mendiburo says he bought the snuff in Tercenas and prices,
and reduced to cigarettes, reported profit on its sale.
The Coloniaje was a dead society, agriculture is not development,
not only in the Spanish colonies, but in French,
and Portuguese, but if in the English colonies, which so
radically different system of colonial Latin. The Indian
food base constituting it followed corn, potato, rice and
54
JULIO OLIVERA ORÉ
cassava. Each of these were spread during the eighteenth
century, and came to Mexico potato and banana spread
throughout all tropical coasts.
Among the first we marketable products, sugar, “follow
the track of this crop, is to give the slave bruce and
reversed fortunes in America.” The same path followed
cocoa, and with it, the cultivation of coffee that was located
in Venezuela and Cuba since 1769. Instead the snuff
did not follow the fortunes of the above plants, and this
apparently as Vincent says, by the creation of Tobacconist.
The snuff was an American colonial transit product, which
stressed the development of trade between the metropolis
and the colonies.
Agriculture generally of this crop in the colony, was
served without doubt a normal way of working, for the
tribute to be paid by the natives, as subjects of the Crown.
Typical is not that dedicated workforce not only to the
production of snuff, this consists of compulsory servitude
or slavery. In these cases there is usually the labor problem,
because growing areas were located in places where
the Indian population disappeared in the early decades of
the Spanish occupation. The workforce in this area in Peru
was scarce and needed for many important products. “In
the S. XVIII Mexican landowners were not only men who
owned the land, were farmers, miners and merchants, furthermore,
were judges governors and leaders of armies. In
conclusion had all the power in your hand, cared little or
nothing the international market price of snuff. Generally
had no labor problems, or need of many imported products.
No doubt these features were common in the Peruvian
farmer, but few with producer monoculture. A study of
the development of these traits in the eighteenth and nine55
DAYS SETEMBER
teenth century would much perspective to contemporary
history. With Mexican Enrique studies Floorescano on
“Corn prices and agricultural crisis in Mexico (1708-1810)”.
These monoculture plantation, not only of snuff, was to
bring a violent movement of hours worked to a population
accustomed to that pace, work as a result, other drawbacks
as Indian workers acarreamiento climates that were
harmful, which came directly in contact with different
groups such as blacks slaves, carriers of new diseases and
abusive behavior against these peoples. This will alter the
indigenous population with European settlement.
The industry also went backward, except the branch of
mining, inexhaustible source of wealth and exploitation.
Zacatecas in Mexico, Potosi in Peru and Chile, were the
most productive in gold, silver and copper. The Portugal
explored the famous diamond mines of Brazil, humbol,
estimated that up to 1803 Spain obtained from their mines
yield about five billion of our money.
Major causes of the routine of agriculture and industry,
among others been like had referred, monopolies and taxes
and the prohibition to trade freely with other nations,
even in the colonies with each other and not with the same
Spain. Nearly two centuries the port of Seville monopolized
the trade of America, later became the port of Cadiz.
All this restrictive system led to smuggling, which was
another mortal blow to Spanish trade and ordered that severest
laws in this regard. At the beginning of the Republic
agriculture was reduced to the limits of the “family and
local economies.” Primitive methods of cultivation, based
on rainfall, poor food capacity of pastures and other social
factors, determined the formation of large estates and thus
the creation of the property.
56
JULIO OLIVERA ORÉ
The political disorganization, frequent wars disrupted
agricultural funds. The taxes on the peasantry weighed
heavily taxing even household products. “No less arbitrary
resulted contributions and caste Indians. Later contribution
depersona laborers and peasant classes exclusively
taxed and consumption taxes and municipal taxes
likewise impacted on agricultural production.“
Another cause serious agricultural backwardness was
the system of slavery that is inherited to the Republic in
the mid-nineteenth century. Later it appears that the suppression
of slavery was a confusion in agriculture, based
on that landowners could not but with the base labor of
slaves. According to this situation was granted a monopoly
to import Chinese. Alejandro Garland says that in 1764
it was discontinued date that traffic had landed 87 000
Asians in Peru.
The Viceroy Amat, Don Gaspar de Urquizo Ibanez,
Manuel de Lorena, Mauel Isidoro de viewer, Auditors of
the R. Finance for the years of 1762 and Ministers of the
Royal Government of Snuff, conferred on the Directors by
regulation and must have this branch of the Treasury and
agreed that the counter has formed annual income and report
the general condition of the funds each watertight up
General Administration.
It was customary at the time of Santillam, new taxes
without looking at the state of Indian health desmejoraba
by excessive loads to be carried. The King of Spain had
given a Royal Warrant in which it requested that the Indian
tribute was less than it was in the time of his infidelity.

quistador authoritarian sent by the monarch to exercise a
merger. The basis of this writer is the institutional system
and tribute Inca species becomes even with coca and snuff
later this tribute is mixed.
On the other hand the Spaniards saw America as a farm
intended for enrichment, so many people check their posts
to make a real business, favoritism on the other hand,
placed on public officials inept or corrupt men, who easily
became in real tyrants. The laws were easily circumvented.
The little freedom and individual initiative contributed
no because the slow progress of the Spanish colonies,
especially comparing to the English colonies, who began
their cultivation for the years of 1536, although Spanish
and living in the islands of Santo Domingo, They began
to cultivate in 1530, but whose to John Wofle, producer
James Town, Virginia, the honor of having been the first
cultivated in large scale commercial, domestic and export

Initially the culture was accelerated and often forced and
tyrant in all regions. The Directors, Directors of Factories

occurring in grievances and vexations to increase production.
Just as in the town of Chiclayo in 1755 complained

In the early years of the Republic was established freedom
of cultivation and industrialization of snuff and its
importance was minimal in the overall national economy.
Its industrialization was totally rudimentary, largely as
a cottage industry, with preference to foreign goods was
imported, preferred despite its high price.
Drake had discovered the process of wrapping paper
cigarettes. And the first factories to industrialize in ways
snuff They began the year of 1732. One was established
in Rappahannock, another Mecklenburg County. Virginia,
shortly before the War of Independence followed these
factories rather than other industrialized 1790 approximately
15 000 tonnes.
It was rudimentary crimping procedure and twist snuff

industry, reaching from the colony formed Guild Guild

the first cigarette factories.
Awards were called mercaderos any organization of
artisans and workers in the same occupation in well and
mutual protection, had the monopoly of an industry and
the protection of authority. Many times these industries
were hereditary. In Europe the French Revolution Guild
killed, instituting work freedom. In Spain, after the sixteenth
century, the Brotherhood Guild becomes because
dominated the economic and technical and professional
corporation established in collective labor subject.
In Cologne, the Guilds of cigar had a very prominent
role and it seems that despite his lack of any data set or
clear about them, influenced the Administration of Tax
on Snuff. As we see in the document that transcribe:
“Memorial of the Labor Guild of Cigars, begging to be
reformed providence given by the Director General of the
tercena only be sold to Bracamoro snuff, and auto Royal
Board of October 31, 1770, was sent will bestow lso the

It also appears that it was possible for sale it is done
also in the Stores, as we confront in the following document
to be inserted: “Memorial Pulperos Guild of the
town of Chancay, on not allowing the sales manager who

Decree of May 12, 1852, detailing the manner and method
of collecting this tax.
Patent contribution was part of the industry, which was
according to law, by 4% per year on profits.
Tobacco Industry prospered while the machines were
refined. In 1876 Lima is set small cigarette factories.
Before processing, as we have said, was done in home or
small industrialists who manufactured cigarettes “long”
and “cravat” San Lorenzo white paper.
The Snuff was brought in “iguanas” pouches or Nougat,
“canvas rods”, “deck”, “snuff Pasallas or bundles”,
“wooden crates”, “bats lead”, “purse”, “bottles tin “and”
Flasks “, the latter was worth 200 decks of snuff.
Conveniently came prepared with mixture of sugar,
molasses and rum. The smallness of this industry in the
Republic agreed with the lack of importance of the crop
and its consequent negligible domestic consumption. It
mattered Havana products therefore beginning to gain
ground on the world’s markets were cheaper and their importation
was taxed with insignificant rights, sales prices
were available to consumers, and especially of the upper

Tobacco Industry case as in all industries overall success
depended not only on the possible volume of production
but sta quality and eating quality of markets. In
Peru there was intimate snuff of class and therefore could
only acquire Tobacconist. The only way, the only way to
get other markets was gathering the two vital factors: economics
and quality.

all tax revenues. Tobacconist Income includes gross receipts
from manufacturing and sales of snuff and its products
and all contributions or taxes existing or to be created

The government ordered the construction of a building

By law No. 12347 of June 1955, provides for the freedom
of production and trade industrialization and articles
snuff throughout the Republic, authorizing the Executive
to adopt the measures required for compliance. However,
this law was not regulated in time and was not applied
until March 31, 1964 by Supreme Decree No. 12-H. Still
does not work in practice free production rate, industrialization
and snuff trade, in all its breadth, since in fact
the only industry Watertight continued as manufacturare

Decree No. 12-H created a body independent tobacco.

This organization was called “National Tobacco Commission.”
It also established a system of agreements or contracts

between the government and industry who wish to establish
guidelines, covered the 9140 law and who are exempted
from taxes and duties.
Finally, while an official commission to our deposed
regime, was doomed in the task of liquidating the Snuff
Tabac on the basis of Supreme Decree No. 307-HC August
1968, a Watertight defense committee requested his override
the government for causing this damage to hundreds
of servers and thousands of growers in the Peruvian haciendas.
The Engineer Pflcker, acquitting a query of the National
Bank, says “that could only continue living self funding,
but also would be able to pay the State an average profit
of more than 10 million soles annually, during the period
of 1969-1978.
For State should subsist as a regulator of prices compared
to private sector companies as autonomous character

The Tobacconist State aid does not need some to operate.
The snuff capital would be formed with the sale of
raw materials to the international market. And for another
four years at least, no need to purchase new equipment for
the production of cigarettes.
To facilitate the operability of this entity, would be
made, of course, some changes in the administrative organization,
reduce non-market, improve quality of cigarettes
and making sales campaigns similar level as tobacco companies
made private.
And in order to print a defined policy to promote agricultural
and industrial sector tobacco, was the law of No69

vember 22, 1965 No. 15741, called Law “Tabacalera Nacional”.
But, by Law 17421 of February 11, 1969 to replace the
Snuff Tabac is created “National Snuff Company” in order
to open the market for excess production in the hands
of small farmers. Economic surpluses that could not wait
and were caused by the apparent lack of demand from
private industrial enterprises. Then an early interest of the
said Regulation National Company, so that in the fullness
of its powers, to function. After national tobacco production
was awaiting the work of that body.
On the other hand, was already considered to Peru (March
29, 1969) at the Department of Agriculture of the United
States, for the first time, as a possible exporter of snuff.
Private companies broke the monopoly Watertight thanks
to Law 15741 of November 22, 1965, entered the industrial
cultivation of snuff blond, gaining just under a third of the
national production of black snuff.
Despite the unique character Peruvian tobacco product,
not what has been favorable conditions for achieving the
major consumer markets, Peru has been postponed, unreasonably
inclusion snuff international market.
But efforts are not isolated to one another the synchronization
required to unify the strategy of international market
introduction.
The producer of snuff is not at fault have formed a deep
tradition tobacco. Tradition that comes from the days of
J. Manso de Velasco, Conde de Superunda, which audited
for the first time in the Snuff Tabac, the monopoly of
exploitation and marketing of this product. But from that
time to date, the producer of snuff did not receive the nec70

essary protection for their crops and introduce technology
to improve their social and economic conditions.
The presence of a national tobacco with tradition and
product acceptance in international markets, it is required
to enter this merchandise in those markets that are highly
competitive and demanding. Consequently, this situation
calls for a unified strategy, from the initial stage of production
to the end point of marketing.

THE GREAT DAY OF NO SMOKING
November 21 is the date of the Great American Smokeout
(Great American Smokeout). The Society established this
one day as a way to “spread the word” about how pesonas
can actively protect your health from the dangers of the use
of snuff. The Great American Smokeout is an annual event
that takes place the third Thursday of November, which
encourages smokers to quit the habit for a day, what the
American Cancer Society hopes propel them quit for good.
Beginnings
The idea of the Great Day of No Smoking in an activity
emerged in 1971 in Randolph, Mass. Arthur P. Mullaney
asked people to stop smoking for a day and donate the
money they would have spent on cigarettes to fund scholarships
from high school (high school). Then in 1974 Lynn
R. Smith, editor of “monticello Times” in Minnesota. He
led the first “D-Day” or the Smokeout state. The idea was
well received, and the November 18, 1976, the California
Division of the American Cancer Society successfully encouraged
nearly one million smokers to quit for the day.
This activity in California marked the first great day of not
smoking, and the Society conducted nationwide in 1977.
Some of the most popular celebrities in the United States
have joined the cause as presidents of the activity, including
Sammy Davis, Jr., Edward Asner, Natalie Cole, Larry
Hagman the Surgeon General, C. Everett COP and Christy
75
DAYS SETEMBER
Turlington and Mr. Potato Head spokesman who left his
pipe and cause.
The Great American Smokeout was celebrated with meetings,
parades, distributing information on how to stop
smoking and even the inclusion of “cold turkey” (an
English expression that refers to suddenly quit (“dry”)
menus in schools, workplaces, military installations and
legislative halls throughout the United States.
The Great American Smokeout today
Today, many people in this country understand the
dangers associated with the use of snuff. More and more
people quit smoking successfully, but lung cancer remains
the leading killer disease in men and women. Only this
year, approximately 169,400 new cases diagnosed lung
cancer in the United States, and an estimated 154,900
people will die from this disease. Unfortunately, it is estimated
that the rates of diagnosis and lung cancer deaths
will increase in the next 10 years. The decline in the use
of snuff in adults has declined, as the decline in ‘{mortality
rates among people under 45 years. The use of snuff
among young people increased significantly during the
1990s, except in states that have programs snuff energetic
control. Research has also brought to light other snuff-related
cancers, including cancers of the mouth, pharynx,
larynx, esophagus, pancreas, cervix, kidney and bladder.
The statistics illustrate what still must fight battles, but
we have obtained many important victories. In 1977,
Berkeley, California, became the first community to limit
smoking in restaurants and other public places. In 1990
he approved a ban on smoking in all interstate buses and
domestic flights of six hours or less. Moreover, in 1999 the
76
JULIO OLIVERA ORÉ
Justice Department filed a lawsuit against cigarette manufacturers
accusing the industry of defrauding the public
by lying about the risks of smoking.
Also in 1999, adopted the important Master Settlement
Agreement (MSA) which requires that by 2025 tobacco
companies will pay 206 billion dollars to 45 states to cover
Medicaid costs for treating smokers. The MSA also closed
the Tocacco Institute and banned advertising with cartoons
and billboards snuff. Earlier this year, Philip Morris
Companies officially apologized for a study commissioned
by international affiliate concluded that the Czech Republic
benefited economically from the premature deaths of
smokers.
The future of the Great American Smokeout
Although great progress has been, there is still much more
to be done to significantly reduce diagnoses and deaths
related to snuff. In our society, the cause of death is most
preventable smoking, but it is estimated that 47 million
adults in the United States currently smoke. In addition,
smoking appears to be increasing in the youth population.
Statistics show that between 1991 and 1999, cigarette
smoking among high school students increased significantly
from 28% to 35%.
Through the Great American Smokeout and other programs
and smoking cessation services offered throughout
the year, the American Cancer Society continues to inform
people about the dangers of smoking and using snuff to
provide resources to help smokers kick the habit and save
their lives.

Between the cracks of the peaks of Ancash Juan Gregorio,

lived intense imaginative life, daily questioning nature
and looking for men in the bottom of his soul. Overcome

at this new aspect of his life drunk in their forms gave

It is a spell-like breeze that indigenous experts observing

at this time of splendor, forgetting the terror wars, crises
and presidential elections, but yet had to live and learned
to live with the time and the longings of a river where they
navigate memories of each day passes by his side.
Nostalgia and the distance are related concepts in the
evocation and both meet a destination: raise melancholy,
flower perfume landscape and longing. If the recall is the
dawn of memory, melancholia is its melody and fragrance.
The remoteness is a perspective of landscape and evocation
distance and position is a sweet populous silences
and indefinable charm in our yearning anguish free from
sorrow poured into his mellifluous mirages. And here’s

The above is enough to explain and define what until
now has been the word designating homesickness. Youth

and adorn nature, their presence and enjoyment drowns
us happiness. Warns cosmic terror and splendor of nature
fogs, is elusive fortune and a veil of sadness covers

beckons with its indefinable smile of remembrance and
its glow of past greatness. There are claims and longing,
a yearning anguish haunts and comforts. The spirit lives
and transplanted into another body and with a fervor and
frenzy mixture of hope and sorrow, ambulatory and wait.
It is through this emotional kaleidoscope that discerns life
and it is a psychological phenomenon that owes its colorful
tone and chlorotic. Such nostalgia.
Nostalgia is a longing for a horizon and a scene, that
is landscape and spiritual evocation. It is a synthesis and
abstraction of our experience. A picture of nature has
aroused our admiration and our love sparked and alongside

we feel that we give something of ourselves or a shred of

REFLECTIONS OF A DREAMER ELDERLY
Nostalgia pays me as melancholy longing invades me incessantly.
My eyes undaunted scrutinize the far reaches where
auroras arrobe vésperos resplendent and placid. That
idyll!. In full vertigo amid strange and lyrical apostasy
prevailing forged immortal poem. Without fear, without
embarrassment, with the naturalness of the spontaneous
and inevitable sinus, we found a delightful passion.
We had this great love for hidden treasures, wonderful
story and stubborn tenacity. Our tenderness and ardor
came from way back, dating beyond our early discussions,
in the genesis or the ether, in the avatar or the realization:
two particles of life insurgían demanding sympathy and
affinity. Tuned our souls and melody of love flowed in
abundance. And that love was like a song of spring, tender,
dreamy and gently agitated. The magic and charm

got lost in a sky oplascentes mirages speculate. Our letters
concocted the promise of the game and turned their anguish
and aching claim impetuous tones.
The distance and time conspired against us. The timidity
of the beloved gave fuel to it. Then my soul wandered:

I do not know if some genius hidden in my kneaded

would have cherished in my lap passed through the prairie
spreading its charms, I do not know. But I feel that between
me and the scenery there is an eternal communion.
Without this metaphysics of love and landscape have so
much power of suggestion and the power to make all
things to be translated into all the languages of my being
and gestures of my life, I could not do these reflections.
I think not I be in love with love I laugh at my violence
and my stubbornness, I even doubt that assail my passion
influx but not the euphoria of a selfishness.
All dithyramb in love is foolish to claim its vulgarity
and futility. The sweet and pure love does not need adornment,
nor that every hour is preached. Tenderness is more
intimate when it is less affected and more demure abiding
by decanting. The daily oath the act and makes prosaic
usually counterfeit currency that even the most gullible

Fortunately there are places and loved to show it still
the woman is the pivot on which turns the happiness of

The distance and time give love a title of nobility and
greater forces of incitement. Earn the distance or make the
horizon recede to admire the beloved is not deep joy and
miracle work? The time and distance given its vastness
pure love, his view the universe expands and perennial
symbolic scenario emerges in excitement. The distance is
to the universe as the time history: landscape and monument.
The merit of the distance is that its end is the beloved
pinched with concern and tenderness. The merit
of time is that his constant promises have acrisolado and
merged two souls.
I do not remember the name of the Roman used to say
that was never more together than when alone .. He must
have had a privileged soul and fantasy artist, and certainly
savored the placid melancholy pain. This evil sick at heart
but the spirit gives an aura of martyr and a nice consolation.
Melancholy is the flower of happiness. Flower nostalgic

tenderness white lilies nestle in the valleys and touches
await their absent loved girlfriends will not come. Ferns
stalking rear up in the well that his side has to offer her

However those who suffer from it tend hands in search
of the panacea it is to be loved, we look at loneliness and
the field is the atmosphere and reaching the wounded
heart. The melancholy solitude with her cooing rocks the
soul, the field with his majestic show what captivates and
both we both transported to the world of illusion, where
the image of the beloved is in full sentence.
Happy the lover who can vent their torments with crying.
Many internal injuries or deformities could be prevented
if all men could empty into tears of bitterness that

JULIO OLIVERA ORÉ
Tears curdle like pearls and take their perfume of that
flower of love called melancholy. Then a tear is beautiful
and has the charm of the ineffable and sublime comfort.
Who has not cried eloquence knows no love or the sweetness
of consolation. Love like everything noble and great
pain has to feed him and remove his tenacity and firmness,
their language and their music. Crying is the word
of love and music its rhythmic expression. Without them
there can be no great love or all noble love is destined to
descend into vulgarity and promiscuity lost in anonymous
backroom amours.
When tears do not come to aerate the feverish face of
love, an inner cry moan triggered by a martyr’s soul and
heart bubbling like a cauldron. It happens so horrible,
pain and bitterness are exacerbated, kneel, tear, corrode
and convulse in silence without a hand reaches in love pious
or wipe those tears blind spiritual sight and burn the
face of the soul. Crying without tears is the most cruel,
work like a gale and merciless as fire sweeps yielding lavas
or as the north wind that freezes, but as if all that was
not but a ferment fecundizante sprouts or a flower in the
spirit of hope and emerges to face the scent of comfort and
love smiling.
A tear in the eyes of a woman in love is a priceless jewel
and a treasure that dazzles and captivates poetic, in a man,
is a title of nobility and chivalry that convinces. The faith
of the fans no purer source that the source of a sincere cry.
The constancy through such varied mutations of life is
a gift that overflows the narrow mold of virtue. The soul
of virtue is kindness and goodness covers with her mantle
of goodness and sweetness to human actions making us
see things through a kaleidoscope. The soul of constancy

is love. Without this substratum? What would the record
to which the spurs daily reality at every turn showing the
face of deceit and oblivion? Love gives the record a power
of providence and mercy. Without that arise would become
hatred and indifference. Just as virtue without goodness
is an empty word, constancy without love is an idea
as any sterility sterile reprehensible and abominable.
The cream of the pleasure is in the foretaste, is to savor
the enjoyment since it implies and suggests and not
as satisfying. True love is like the artist who is happier
than when he conceives when creating and like most of
the emotions preceding the pleasure of modesty always

imagination with his flight incitement and give the feeling
of enjoyment majestic spirituality never surpassed by

In the antechamber of pleasure lies all the charm of
sweetness. This is where a game of illusion and vision
decorate the box and offer superb luxury and sublime and

explanation: all that exalts the imagination goes beyond
everything offered reality. As first is infinite and insatiable
yearning and what other experience is limited. And is that
the best and the good thing is not always what we have
and what we learn but ambition and pursue: what lies in
the sphere of ideality and with his flash seduces and attracts
us. Many times the antechamber of the enjoyment is
just a pipe dream and that is when more and more forces

Nothing sterile and barren word verbal promise that

effort in this anxiety of an ideal and obtained

teachers, but with them in a hurry simulators offer a type
of man to humanity and culture content. In this symptomatic
state in which the Pharisees dispute the fore teachers.
The sharp eye does not confuse. The teacher has an ideal

teacher is guided by hunches finned his chest and on his

lights are dim in the storm but the feelings survive with

heart is north of his actions and his brain lights up horizons

The failure of the teacher is the success of the routine,

On the river a multitude of canoes and rafts floated
pending its moorings. No shortage of recreational cabinets

The river was a haven and gave the impression of a vast
lake, almost motionless, was a cozy river. In its golden

One hamlet plagued by earthquakes, by the floods and
mudslides, was repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt constantly.
At present it is a river port, melancholy and deserted,

In this hamlet germinated a love poem so full of shame
and so innocent that they ignored the protagonists themselves

Such was the solemnity of that event that the chapel of

The devotees of the “five” took charge of the party program

When the procession should be on the river in the

priest was going down to the beach to bless the waters of

At 9 pm the procession began. Early on a raft 15 meters

Virgin and Holy Men were ready for courtship.
In other rafts were installed bands of musicians and

ghost was a “Zampara”, this is a “Avenger”. The pilgrims

The penitents scattered in His ascension to the crosses

At four o’clock the bells heralded the dawn Mass and

December 12, 1700. At ten years old was taken to Lima to a
religious school. Occasionally a girl was to spend holidays
with their parents. But in 1719 had lost his mother and his
father have ill with fever Purhuay. By then he was 19 and
was obliged to go to his father’s side.
The tradition has been kept alive memory of Maria Josefa.
People who knew him and the comments made then

Such Maria Josefa. Landscape, climate, myth, religion,

A María Josefa liked the Purhuay, liked the illusion and
mystery in him, he stately river captive in his childhood
had crossed munda load or lift the back shaggy like a hook
or a tornado and fire as a cyclone. Never forgot that contrast
between the aridity of the sons of Quichez prodigious
and fertile valley.
His godfather Don José Rodríguez Marín, Flame rich
merchant, who had been kind enough to go for it to Lima,
Purhuay accompanied him in all the time that was necessary
for the restoration of Mr. Asuncion.
When was Maria Josefa was left with his father. They
had in hand a deal to transfer its business to leave the valley.
Meanwhile there to remain, sometimes in the Purhuay,
Quichez others, at home with his family. Country life entertained
him and made it strong and brave woman. However,
the narrow, isolated scenario had to make nostalgic.
The memory in life was to evoke schoolgirl and created a
fantasy it increasingly mighty. Conducive to reverie was
able to forge an inner world to get rid of ostracism.
So Maria Josefa lived: between a tough and wonderful
scenario and mirage prodigious fantasy. Her friends
disputed the privilege of his company, the people adored
him. But where was acclaimed and venerated was in the
sanatorium. The destitute and sick it received its magnificence
and all his angelic care. María Josefa attention to the
sick was a pleasure. The filled with joy to know that their

In the home of Maria Josefa was a fairy. In all things

and angelic charm emerged from this intimacy.

On the way the scientist is interested in the study of an

wrote a letter to Maria Josefa dispatching it with one of
three pigeons that that would have sent in the Puruhuay.
Two days later interned at the tangle of jungle and
pitched his camp in the vicinity of the tribe of the Chushucones.
The friendliness of the residents and the excellence
of the place allowed them to make the center of its activities.
From there other places raided the guides knew.
Cuzsh was a rustic population settled around the slopes
of a hill. The summit had been Chushuncon and their relatives

conifers stout stems rising to a height of over 40-60 meters.

those floating cabins.
Two months ago the scientist was established in Cuzch
collecting and selecting plants and studying their preservation
and embalming.
One day he remembered the Puruhuay and sent another
pigeon with a message to Maria Josefa. That letter was
an ode to the forest. For his version went like a fantastic

Plants subtle fragrance filled as “Comène” used to

All legendary and a wonderful fall flowers like orchids

But their concerns did not forget Maria Josefa. At his
side had felt like melodies flooded and it had seemed like
they always had lived in such a beautiful company. The
beauty of the friend was not all be extraordinary, it had a
sweet innocence in the soul and heart a dawn of spring.
Beside her was as close to a flower or an angel, lived enthralled.
And in that state of mind there was no more feeling
than worship. Love had not disturbed his senses, hence
never would have thought of making a declaration of love.
Ever had told him in Bilbao, in the chapel of his house, his
mother worshiped a virgin and that the whole family also
worshiped, and that virgin appeared to her. She had not
said as a compliment but as a natural reference, the same
Maria Josefa did not understand otherwise. You may stay
fanatic since Eusebio and Maria Josefa wonder. None
warned that that statement was above all perception.
And now in the jungle recapitulated Purhuay scenes
and not enough to separate the image of Maria Josefa
of the image of flowers. He remembered that when he
walked in the field had the impression of being as close to
a garland of lilies. The distance and evocation were to him
as an awakening to reality.
The absence of that angelic being was a void for him,
he realized he could not live without that beauty. Then his
memory dear reconstructed image and gravo in mind and
with the help of imagination building an altar to venerate
there.
Conceived in this way it was being exalted divinity and
reason angelic and passionate cult of Eusebius. But all this
mentioned in the letter to Maria Josefa was but as a com141

ment, as a enviación and a prayer. In none of the coastal
landscapes allowed his passion and care suggest that this
letter was more a picture of the jungle and the story of his
spiritual state a consequence of his exaltation.
The wild life he was dismayed. Despite the wealth of
nature showed absolute poverty. Not worried about the
future. Nuclei narrowed by kinship or alliance made common
cause and defended wildest tribes or undertook conquests
to expand their domains. The bloody wars were
horrifying ferocity, while the horns and drums thundered
space fighters tore. Generals fur lined puma or jaguar
roamed the exciting field to his hosts and the cries of the
wounded were silenced with the mace or club.
After four months of stay in the jungle undertook his return
to Purhuay, when an unexpected perchance frustrated.
Two days’ journey and a hill tramontar warned that
two people were tied to a stake and intoxicated women
danced around to the sound of wild music, behind them a
row of armed men also ran dance beats, while enlisted one
pyre to burn the prisoners. Eusebio ordered his people to
fire in the air to scatter the Indians. In effect the detonation
fled in terror.
Occasional wild shot his arrow, but the second explosion
there were none on the plateau. When triggered the
prisoners were given the surprise of who were women,
one of whom wore rich ornaments and quite beautiful.
The interpreters said that the most beautiful of the young
was a princess who had been kidnapped by the enemies of
his father and that the rapture had done when the whole
tribe was hunting for a pair of jaguars, which in the previous
nights had ravaged the stay. The botanist in his arms
to the princess and put it on the border of his horse and
142

began the descent towards the domains of Cacique, father
of the beautiful Cullcush.
Two hours had elapsed when walking behind the
mountains that surrounded the road a hundred silvicultural
entourage stormed against untimely as the botanist
knocking an arrow and seizing the princess. He was the
father of Cullcush army that returned from the hunt for
jaguars had reported the kidnapping. Cullcush immediately
protested the error and dismayed the Cacique and
his people for the misunderstanding lavished all the resources
that were available to them to lessen damage to
the savior of the princess. Transferred to Shogocondor
palace, the beautiful Cullcush not be separated from the
head of your savior and scientific fever cooled with her
tears.
The stay was enguirnalelada Eusebio dispensed. There
was no gentleness that he had not been lavished. The
spells and even the sacrifices were met with reverence and
faith. The same Cullcush she had a sweet voice and loving
sang her most tender and intimate songs. Three Indians
who sucked the wound by Eusebio died soon and then
considered saved the scientist. Past fever botanist day had
long conversations with Don Hermenigildo Crying and
those colloquium were to evoke Maria Josefa, most virgin
who had inspired the illusion of love with purity and who
does not forget. The memory of that being idolized served
as sustenance. It was this memory a cure for him. And I
wanted to let the Purhuay the mishap that was coming
slowly, wanting to Maria Josefa knew that he was present
and was the deity under whose protection was reestablished.
Cullcush more and more beautiful and more decked
143

approached the scientist to offer their atenciones.Sus soft
hands descorrían bands wound and cured so gently that
it felt not to.
One day the scientist in appreciation of so much attention,
after the hands of Cullcush had finished cleaning his
face, took in his and kissed them. The princess knelt and
took the two hands of Eusebius broke and made mourn
with joy. The following are sacrificed a deer and Cullcush
shared with Eusebio one morsel of meat prepared with a
servant’s heart. The late princess dressed odalisque Indian
ran to Eusebio a dance epitalámica the rhythm of a chorus
of Vestal.
The next day brought Eusebio a wooden platform and
before he marched the army and people in acknowledging
the Prince Consort. Eusebio attended all the ceremonies
that day like an automaton in the belief that it was in tribute
to him for having saved the life of Cullcush.
That scene will be dazzled. Soldiers clad in a clothing
warrior carrying rare weapons and martial rising tone in
the rictus war that gave their faces, the characters of the
nobility wore distinctive original and people gown singing
ritual songs. Then paraded the artisans and famulos
carrying his masterpieces or animals dearest. It was the
expression of a magical world where the mythic and totemic
had symbolism expressive.
These impressions as the constant reminder he had of
Maria Josefa had wanted to get the Purhuay, but the last
passenger pigeon was left had escaped the day he was
wounded, depriving therefore that media.
In the morning the scientist read his books and after
144
JULIO OLIVERA ORÉ
lunch the room was invaded by the princess and her court.
She and other beautiful maidens ran choreographers in
ballet jungle. Cullcush, after firing his court took the hands
of Eusebius kneeling before his bed’s showered kisses.
And when it was indifferent Princess filled with pain
and burst into tears. Cullcush was in love with Eusebio
with such passion that in their ignorance of the language
wanted to express with sample materials for affection.
The scientist realized passion Cullcush and pitied. I was
aware that he had been given as a bride and it was getting
married was to be buried alive. Undoubtedly, the feeling
of something unusual was the princess as tone of melancholy
that joined the magical influence of the forest made
her a woman nostalgic.
Cullcush was lilial as a stamen orchid was exotic was
sweet as a swarm, was beautiful as arrobal the dawn,
the surface of angel eyes dreamy the neck of bird on the
shoulders of hazelnut, the chest like a dream on which
the breast only in outline is erectaban upwards, the waist
like a low, shapely limbs was more for art than for love. A
dress mesh which had embroidered a variety of beautiful
butterfly it gave Cullcush majesty of a goddess. His other
clothes were also delicious, full of gold, turquoise and rare
feathers.
Eusebio seemed to lose its effect. His memoirs were not
advancing by losing his breath. Don Hermenegildo was
determined to recommend rest. Gradually that strength
was waning. He about expect to get fever and Cullcush
never left his bed or in the day or at night.
In vain were new spells and sacrifices. In the delirium
of fever his lips muttered the name of Maria Josefa. The
145
DAYS SETEMBER
June 13th, 1774, he was dead in the arms of the desperate
Cullcush.
The funeral was solemn. The chief ordered all the flowers
of the region were picked to fill the pit of the tomb of
the sage. On this tomb was raised a Chullpa for offerings
and sacrifices.
The news of the death of Eusebio discomfited Maria Josefa.
He felt something collapses on her. They retreated to
their chores taking up a cloudy sky and taking care not to
analyze or deepen their stupor.
That unfortunately brought out in it treasures of tenderness.
Liked the prayer his dearest entreaties. An infinite
melancholy pervaded his being and he lay like a
jewel nostalgic. Her tears fell like dew upon the orchids of
the mountain. And it gave pain to hasten those your notes
of sadness, loneliness, anxiety and distress.
A callous abandonment he suffered with some of unconsciousness,
but that was more pleasing to suffer for allowing
the grace of evocation. This abandonment was like
a fantasy orchestral with chords of grief were able get her
drunk and captivate. And unwittingly came into his mind
the memory of the looks of Eusebius and his fantasy was

twenty was a reverie, radiant, was a halo of auroras or a
sheaf of beams of sunshine, angel, was a sketch of Murillo
or a heavenly vision, subtle, was a tibor perfume. The
people loved him, fools so coveted and gentlemen revered
him.
No one even told him about love. They same would
have been surprised spring up in his soul other feeling
other than the celestial and mystical. Ten years of confinement
had made her a Vestal seraphic. And all its beauty
lily and orange blossom had devoted to his religious devotion
had nothing for the world, nor would for it more

It was Eusebius who drew for her the wonders of an

And I was in it that melancholy as eco seamless languid

change the music without changing the soul.

which he felt faint. A flow of tears came to her eyes and
silent weeping was like dew which cooled or as a prayer
that calmed him.
How often came over him this anguish rather bear it
in the river. In a canoe solfa to drift and give vent to her
tears. And grief and desolation of the virgin touched the
river and to issue notes afflictive. And this duo sore was a
melody apocalyptic convulsed with sorrow to the region.
These scenes instead of calming renewed his sorrow for
the evocation raged bitterness. And the great river as the
faithful confidant of Maria Josefa offered its waves of emerald
and melodies of his sonatas most intimate to dissipate
its desolation.
That girl who had never known the joy of love knew
all ranges of suffering from the sting and burning up the
torture and torment. Prostrate and saddened by the pain
María Josefa not revealed not discarded. Instead it felt like
a tender romance, as the first poem of his life that gave him
strength to live in sadness as rapt in a delirium ineffable.

Then don Assumption had fully recovered and back

He spent so some days Quichea at the home of his mother’s
relatives, sometimes in Uchus at Don Silvestre Flores

their youth. By this time Maria Josefa entered the fullness
of its beauty with such splendor that fascinated.
Facing this extraordinary woman had to admire the
wonder of this beauty and think of the first of the sublime.
Naive as a flower was unselfish and with absolute
detachment did not hide her beauty, took her to naturally
and without malice. Never struck him the idea of bringing
a standing ovation and applause. Along the way things
bathed in illusion and the atmosphere was saturated with
the perfume of her youth caring for natural urge their
beautiful eyes looked fondly. People worshiped, was the
deity of the place. Some another male broke into flattery,
but the hieratic innocence of the virgin restraining their
impulses, were content to present his homage, and perhaps
they would be more enjoyable this size to break the
spell that made them happy.
Maria Josefa was radiant maiden figuration loftiest of
divinity angelic. She herself was the placidity of its forms.
I left the nature and dress plain gave to light and anticipating
her graceful eurythmy. If not honest and generous
would have loved herself. The mirror of the waters would
unveil its charms, the admiration and praise of the people
to think about the wonder of beauty.
But Carlos Gustavo is operating a morbid phenomenon.
The rejected Maria Josefa exasperated him powerless
to overcome their misfortune could not restrain their impulses.
Nefarious, hazy and lascivious, lust overflowed
in him submerged at a scoundrel permanently weakened
his body but excited her voluptuousness. A flame sadistic
burning her flesh and hugged his neck making her gasp

al on it. A storm of lust enveloped him like a whirlwind,
and you had the maniac. Your moral turpitude would
have sunk like a chronic fiber erotic, where a mirage of
lubricity he had in imaginary molicies. From there, in that
state of insomnia or chills delusional intended to desecrate
the aura of chastity of the virgin. Of course, for it had to
change tactics. He left the circle that surrounded María Josefa
and never came close to it. In the area of relationships
was measured and then circumspect.
Not seen again in the revelry of the shops on camp.
Spent by regenerated. So managed to win the confidence
of Don Assumption in which business establishment

The same Maria Josefa not disliked. Was indifferent to
him and wearied that distance, not to worry and let him
know his unbending resolve non allow closer.
The news of the death of Eusebio discomfited Maria Josefa.
He felt something collapses on her. He retreated to
his duties taking over a cloudy sky and taking care not to
analyze or deepen their stupor.
That unfortunately brought out in it treasures of tenderness.
Liked the prayer his dearest entreaties. An infinite
melancholy invaded his being and he lay like a jewel
nostalgic. Her tears fell like dew upon the orchids of the
mountain. And it gave pain to hasten those your notes of
sadness, loneliness, anxiety and distress.
A callous abandonment he suffered with some of unconsciousness,
but that was more pleasing to suffer for allowing
the grace of evocation. This abandonment was like

The conchucana has a nostalgic beauty full of evocative
and longing. Not that lacks joy, but on poetry, his emotion
is more humane and angelic. It is a matter of metaphysics
and fate. His ancestor native Spanish have given a dye

as sudden flashes of light. His blue eyes or brown radiating
a tone of infinite tenderness and body egregious is
like a verse or hymn. Sculptural, is a sublimation of ways
bewitching, sweet is a mixed multitude of strokes or filter
honey, smooth, is a snowflake clouds, exotic, is the orchid
that dazzles or prurrieta that subjugates. And Maria Josefa
at twenty was a dream, radiant, was a halo of auroras or
a sheaf of beams of sunshine, angelic, was a sketch of Murillo
or a heavenly vision, subtle, was a tibor of perfumes.
The people loved him, fools so coveted and gentlemen revered
him.
No one even told him about love. They same would
have been surprised spring up in his soul other feeling
other than the celestial and mystical. Ten years of confinement
had made her a Vestal seraphic. And all its beauty
lily and orange blossom had devoted to his religious devotion
had nothing for the world, nor would for it more
horizons than spiritual.
It was Eusebius who drew for her the wonders of an

But dead Eusebio if I ought to remind as he advised her
confessor unwittingly appeared to be under the influence
of evocation. It appears cracked under the title of a shadow
of a memory insert then without further arrangements
a few tweaks to the style.
The placid and simple innocence of Maria Josefa was
complicated by the mirage of a compelling vision. The
emotions and feelings that befell were the revelation of
a change in his life. Those eyes of a girl who admire the
beauty of the flower for its smoothness and color, now and
embargaba for its symbolic significance. The melody of the
song of the nightingale or the lark that once he hallucinated
by their very sweet harmony, he now seduced by the
power of melancholy and claim that they are possessed,
and the company of friends formerly was natural and indifferent,
now troubled him with fear and curiosity, the
same religion that previously had given innocently, now
came to her to confide her troubles and ask its intersection
beneficent and shipped with drunkenness to the pomp of
worship, the glitz of the rhinestones and gold ornaments.
Their eyes how outpouring followed the evolution of the
curling smoke of the censers that were lost in the beauty
and opulence of you baroque altars. He listened with
rapture to the voices of the choir e tone of anguish of melody
reached his soul as a fluid unnerving, I was carrying
Edens paradisiacal you to dream and fantasize peacefully.
That religious music no longer contristaba nor did
emerge the lilies mystics of its interior gardens, on the
other hand was in it such spell of tones, such refined vehemence
to shake his being in strange feelings of happiness.
She herself seemed to have changed clearly how distant
he was from his childhood. That cocoon clorático of
155
DAYS SETEMBER
yesteryear that had grown up under the arches silent that
body uncertain and shy under the white uniform schoolgirl,
those big eyes and nostalgic obliged not to raise them,
those little hands dawns and hostiales always gloved and
that her pretty face modesty and amazement on the faces
of the novices the seemed strange. I could not recognize.
That vestal child who was the idol of Sister Natividad, who
received the heat of the most unblemished tenderness and
the sister Alejandrina had pursued to shower her caresses
hysterical, was an almost mythical figure that was lost in
the dark and blurred as a cloudscape on the far horizon.
But that vision and made her tremble; envied serenity angel
of that schoolgirl, simplicity plush soul, emotions and
feelings mirror, unstained and uncomplicated.
Missed with deep tenderness that disappearance of his
childhood considered lost treasures youth, his innocence
virginal and blushing lily. That nubile schoolgirl who once
represented the vivid pictures of cars sacraments and that
really was an angel emerging from a cloud of lilies had
been the idol of the religious community, the Passover
lamb Paloma Eucharistic and vision seraphic that arrobaba.
On stage singing or recitation had tone angelic and
mystical and crystalline voice and immaculate had left his
lips like a flock of pigeons or as a shower of jasmine. That
angelic voice to recite.
That voice of his childhood was spiritual truth, gave
off the soul and rose. To schoolgirl meaning those stanzas
of Don Juan de la Cruz had been the spiritual mystic, the
cry alone a loving soul, anxiety serática of the bride of the
Lord and the wonderful fantasy of innocence.
Now those same verses had another meaning and
sounded otherwise. That bliss of ideas is unhinged, was
156
JULIO OLIVERA ORÉ
cracking and yielding to the temptation of the world,
those words crackled euphoria, were embers burning
their lilies and turgian his being. The mystical ecstasy that
once those lines led him today those same verses led him
to frenzy and rapture. That love seraphic schoolgirl was
just a soft lilial and open tenderness of soul was now a
vague uneasiness, a burning searing heart. And while the
schoolgirl was presented to the evocation as a picture shy
and heavenly now his person appeared as a picture passionate,
poetic.
He was before the revelation of a new world where life
begins in this discovery. And as you cry at birth María Josefa
crying for that, by the terror of the unknown, and especially
the loss of that image of the schoolgirl. And in his
tears had the pain of loved ones that we go and bewilderment
that overwhelmed the change of life. Nostalgia and
hope were the elements of his affliction. And how often
memory brought back memories of his childhood crying
is showered in abundance.
Of these emotional confrontations Maria Josefa emerged
as enlightened candor and enthusiasm. And the memory
of the person of Eusebius, in his absence, and death were
experiences that carried him to other worlds. She could.
Now the difference between the simple sympathy and
affection between the simple warmth and affection. She
learned that love was the masterpiece of the building and
it was more beautiful than art.
The melody of laughter love was more valuable than all
creations orquestase of geniuses and that arrebolo a loving
gaze has the wonderful charm that the best teachers could
not reproduce. A phrase or a word uttered by a person in
love is more eloquent and more sublime than all poetic
157

compositions. It is that love is the spring that renews the
pace of life and wings to the fantasy goes back to heaven.
Not that I have loved, and that Eusebius had been the
beloved of anything had entered or entered the senses.
She had not actually but dream love. And Eusebio was but
the voice that woke her hand or the driving, but a voice
and a friendly hand. So Eusebio was presented as an order.
Dead Eusebio had in his soul the poetic image of the
friend and his evocation kept it such a state of spiritual
intoxication was a treasure of happiness for her.
He had two memories of Eusebio. His letters and carrier
pigeons that had taken him to the jungle. To do those
things had a lot of sacred. With that fruition reread the
letters and that love kissing pigeons which received the
caress of Eusebio. The kissed and cuddled. With them
traveled the popular places and with them returned home
to hide the body of their dreams.
The garden in which Eusebio acudiera daily to monitor
the seedlings was as a shrine to her. The plot in growing
those plants was covered with clumps of violets and
surrounded by rose bushes. The little hut of reeds which
had risen under the shade of a jacaranda was covered with
mother jungles. There in the garden and in that cabin took
refuge Maria Josefa to mourn his misfortune. Alone and
away from the buzz of the village, with his sentence within
the heart and the soul felt the immensity of loneliness
and abandonment. Your own misfortune seemed pleasing
there and collect a halo of sanctity, and insensibly crying
peered into his eyes and his chest emerged staccato
groans. When this crying not soothed her grief and rather
desperate and confused his pigeons that almost always
were perched on their shoulders also weeping Sultan
158
JULIO OLIVERA ORÉ
also issued his most dismal howling. Then Maria Josefa
seemed awakening as a trance and realized that while Sultan
licked hands pigeons collected in their beaks the tears
that flowed down her cheeks. So regained calm and as if
with tears had mitigated their sentences are calmed and
filled with a glare angelic returning home.
Those daily visits to the garden were like daily prayer
of that angelic being. The times not rushing the crying
and take care to read and knit hidden in the cabin felt a
slight rumor of crying that moment grew and threatened
to break out into a storm. Were the river in the zephyr.
The river that the sensed to far and the zephyr that surrounded
him in his cautious melodies. Then María Josefa
approached current and pierced through the zephyr your
silhouette to placate those tribulations.
Leading the Puruhauy had in view the steep slopes of
embankment where had wandered Eusebio. Those craggy
peaks with its labyrinth of moles and hills, with its craggy
and grim solitude were an insurmountable barrier to
his view. Over there Eusebio had entered the dark forest,
never to return. Actually she had not loved Eusebio. At his
side only had sensed happiness. After the tragic death the
letters of Eusebius and the confidences to Mr. Hermengildo
tears did bring out his love Passion. Eusebio had loved
her but she now loved a ...
When alternated in Puruhuay Eusebio had never
courted the scientist kept his tone doctoral and conversation
with her was simple and humble tone. For her those
words was the sunshine of the village, the aroma of fruit
and the perfume of flowers. So great naturalness seemed
an old and familiar melody. Of these rides Maria Josefa
was retiring as wrapped in the fragrance of the friend.
