Marineros que ignoran el vino y la penumbra

ODE TO SALVADOR DALÍ (fragment)

No woods, screens, frowns; mint
growing on the roofs of old houses.
Air shines its prism upon the sea
and the horizon rises like a huge aqueduct.

Sailors, unaware of wine and shadow,
behead sirens on leaden seas.
Night, that black statue of prudence, holds
the rounded mirror of moon between her hands.

Federico, noble espíritu víctima de la cruel violencia desatada…
Salvador, apuntando dardos contra el arte vulgar y chabacano…
Juntos, luz tenue y Baco como testigo, trasvasando surrealistas confidencias.
Tan distintos, tan iguales… tan indómitos Amigos!
Eduardo de Orduña Puebla
Senador del Reino
Senator of the Kingdom
Federico, noble spirit, victim of the violence unleashed…
Salvador, pointing darts at the vulgar and coarse art…
Together, faint light and Bacchus as eyewitness, exchanging surrealist confidences.
So different, so equal… so indomitable, Friends!
