Ell secreto de la biografia tai
como la han crsado hace veinte
amos y al mismo tempo Stra-
chey en- Inglaterra, mi gran a.
migo MauroisAproclamado en-
estos dias, y con raz6n, inmor-
tal-en Francia y yo mismo en-
Alemania, reposa en- la concep-
ci6n siguiente: la vida privada
es tan importante como la vida
p1blica Y es precise evocarlas
simultaneamente puesto que am
bas Sc desarrollan al mismo
tempo.
I'm hombre de Estado, IN
poeta, es tambien un amante, un
padre o un amateur apasionado
de la musica sin esas cualida-
des que Sc dicen privadas, no ha
brfa conclude tai o cual trata-
do, no habria escrito tai o cual
drama.
Yo no podria evocar los actos
hist6ricos de un ministro cuya
vida sentimental fuera impene-
trable; 81 vive a1n y su vida pri-
vada me esta vedada, debo adj
vinarla por su fisonomfa, por su
manera de despedirse de una
mujer.
Porque ahf reposa solamente
ell interes eterno que la humani-
dad coneede a un hombre. Las
batallas de Napoleon va no inte-
resan a nadie, nj siquiera a I'm
Official. Los tratados da Wash
ington solo conservan interes
para un especialista. Despues de
cincuenta amos, ell imperio de
Bismarck estaba va destruido o
modificado. TodOs los actos de
los hombres de Estado son Pc
recederos, solo las obras de las
artistas duran eternamente.
La obfa grandiosa de BeeUho-
ven perduraFia la humanidad
olyidara la tragedia de su vida
privada. Pero NADIA queda de
la obra de los hombres politicos,
NADIA nj adp de Cesar -salvo ell
caracter- pOrque batallas y
conquistas SON measurements
anuladas por la Historic.
