Barbaricem0S....

He podido obtener algunas
impresiones individuales sobre
diversos asuntos, que encierran
un problema algo dificil de So
lucionar y por serlo ash, voy a
ocuparme de clio brevemente V
de una manera superficial, que
un estudio profundo y concienzu-
do esta distante de los conoci-
mientos que dispongo.
Hablando de ~nuestras cos
tumbres, alguien ha dicho que
la barbarie esta bein identihcada
en- nuestra Raza; para clio basta
citar la parte eminente, la que
constituye ell desdoro, la que la
hace refractaria a la civilization
moderna: la afci6n a la lidia de
reses bravas.
Los apasionados del arte de
los toros, que a decir verdad for
man legion inconmensurable, tan
to en- ESpana, como en- la Anne

mentos tan convincentes en- ia

tante que imitar de ~nuestros
histriones anglo americanos, pero
tenemos mucho mas que e
procharles, y como no ha sido

nos detalles que someto a la
