A PRoPosITo DE ENRIQUE GONZALEZ MARTINEZ
I'm Arquetipo de Docta Espontaneidad
y de Inquerantable Hombria
Por JUAN JOSE DoMENcHINA

ALA por los amos 191O-l911,
Enrique Gonzalez Martinez opuso
a la servidumbre m~imetica, a la
sumisi6n imitativa y servil de los
depredadores o remedadores de
Ruben Dario, una valiente y do
mestica formula de liberaci6n in
dividual, absolute: "Tuercele ell
cuello al cisne de engahoso plu-
maize 80" Pero tan esplicita y
plausible exhortacion hubo de SUI
frir una torsi6n malevola, %retorci-
da en- ell tinelo ret6rico de las CO.
madres y de los correveidiles de
las letras. ALA, las plumas blan-
dengues, solo aptas en- la desplu-
madura, e incapaces de resistir ell
roce inconcuso Y acerrimo de la
verdad, sc alborotaron y sobresal-
taron. Para tales individuos-cu-
va impersonalidad mostrenca fus-
tigaba Gonzalez Martinez-el con-
sejo del sentencioso lirico mexica-

SCI. w por que? Porque el cisne
era ell simbolo nato y di~ferencial
de la poesia r%ubeniana. Y ash 10

que tai recurso no podia admitirse

Gonzalez Martinez, Tergiversan-

inmunes e impunes. Y asi, sola-
pandose en- una supuesta vindica-

pugna en- que Sc ~encrespaban dos

ell buho-que, a la postre y en- ell

Gonzalez Martinez no Sc extra

dujo a la nimiedad escatimOsa de

Ell cisne de Dario y ell buho en-
que sc absorta Y ensimisma ell Sc

nez son analogos. Los unen un re-
ciproco afan de conocimiento y un
mutuo alarde de pagania. Ademas,
