Una noche, en- Florencia, ascu1ado
a un balloon del Lungarno, escuche
a unos cantores p%opulares de los que
amenizan con sus romanZas Ia diges-
ton de la nauchedumbre cosmopolita
albergada en- los hoteles inmediatos
al rio.
"Morir vochino a te!" respondia
mento prolongado, ~rasgando el silen-
clio de Ia fresca noche-
MORN vichino a te!" respondia
una voz que semejaba un la
una VOC grave, cor reconcentrada pa
sion, Y las arpas lloraban en- la obs
curidad sus lagrimas armoniosas, CO.
mo perlas sonoras, acompanando es-
tos gemidos de amor Y de muerte.
Junto a mi, mas inglesas jovenes
s~uspiraban em~ocionadas por Ia dulzu-
"a melancolica de Ia nrlsica v de
Ia noche. sintiendo a~blandarse sus al.
mas bajo IN soplo de amor; Y viendo
70 Ia corona de luces del "Viali del
Colli," que rasgaba la obscuridad en-
10 alto de un cerro y 4 u pies ell
Arno rumoroso Y temblon r~eflejande
las rojas ~serpentinas de los faroles
por debajo de los arcos del "Ponte
Vechio," sentiame igaalneute conmo-
vido por Ia romanza, tocando Ia emo
ci6n poetica de los mas bellos momen-
tos de la vida, creyendome por IN irs-
tante mas ligero, en- IN mundo extra
ordinaro. de atmosfera sutil y per-
fumada, donde los cuerpos tlvlesen
la fluidez de las almas. "iMorlr!"
repetia ell lamento musical abajo, en-
las orillas del rio, Y 20 me enterne-
cia sin saber por que, hasta que mi
razon Sc sacuGio este etcauto con re-
pentina protesta.
iMorir! lQue disparate!... Vivir;
la vida es IA inica belleza digna de
ser cantada. Y en- plena frialdad SON
rel de la materia que, temiendo &. Ia
muerte, finge desearla para dar el
excitante del peligro a sus alegrias Y
tristezas, que juega cen ella de men
tirijillas, amandola como aman los nj
nos los juguetes guerreros, remedos
de arnas mortiferas que no pueden
c~uasarles dano. "iMorir" cantaban
aquellos hombres con apasionamiento
neridional que ponia lagrimas en- su
VOC; Y POGO despues, cuando va no
cayesen monedas de los BALCONIES, lrian
a Ia "trattioria" a considerar So vida
como ell mejor de los bienes. ante I'm

%carrones.

siguiendo el canto aquellas virgenes
rubias de pecho plano, y Ell ell fon-
do de sus pensomientos permanecla
intacto el podercso deseo de verse eli
un dia LELAND, mas enjutas aun, con
la nariz enrojecida por los amos Y
rodeadas de una cuantas cabecltas
de color de canamo.
"iMorirr!' susurraban los ecos de IL

to, v dentro de algunas horas Sc CO.
