tereamente tragico 10 que perfuma
los yersos de villaespesa:
"Fantasma que entristeces mis-

Clos mares,

algo mas sobre 10 com1n de los dfas

Permitid que os repita al termi-
mar esta conferencia que Antonio
Salvador Pedreira, el cantor de las
energfas de las excelsitudes, de
las transformations es una de las
figuras mas sobresahentes, no sola-
mente del florecimiento portorri-
queTo sino de Ia lfrica universal, Y
que sus modalidades, sus gentilezas
Y su coraz6n joven V avido de vida
muncian Ia persOnalidad de un ge-
nio-de un gran genio que llega de
los tr6picos asustado de SUI maras-
mo a los cisneS de Leda, con la po-
licromofonfa de Sus -visiOnes- Y la
calidez de sus rimas de amor.
He dicho.
