The great man has departed, leaving me wondering about the meaning of heroism. Newspapers and radio stations will not announce his death, and writers will not race to recall his life and recount his exploits. Soon, the last of the unknown witnesses, the last of the forgotten narrators, will die… those who knew him in his youth as a wild horse saddled by nothing but the wind. So who will bear the burden of memory? And who will write the biographies of those whose biographies are unknown in the books? Those who divided their bodies into the bodies of others, leaving deep traces that indicate others… but do not indicate them!
“We had to wait a long time for the world to distance us from those wastelands to cities of asphalt and cement where doves do not nest, horses do not neigh, and the smoke of villages and the smell of bricks do not waft through the air,” only to realize, only later, the value of direct contact with the primordial sources of nature… Then, with the passage of time and the disappearance of the old scene, those beautiful rural images became the first to flash in memory, and we fell into an illusion even further removed from reality than the illusions of innocent childhood, when nostalgia conspired to banish images of the misery that surrounded us from every side in that lost paradise.
