Ell PRoCESo EN- Ell
ESPIRITU PRoTEICo
DE FRANZ KAFKA
POr Rafael Vega AIbela

Els Kafka uno de esos hombres
para quienes un libro significa al
90 mas que un motive para desen-
trahar IN tema incidental.
sus libros nos %revelan que ma
puesto en- question su vida entera,
u el drama de su existencia es-
ia, por complete, en- ell platillo DE
la balanza.
Por ESQ no sorprende encontrar
una vibraci6n, una especie de te-
ma insistente o de inquietud cons
tante y angustiosa a traves de to-
dos esos personajes, que no son en-
verdad sino las bifurcaciones, las
m1ltiples formas de que su espi-
ritz proteico Sc ha servido para
presentarnos los conflictos intimos
de su alma. Su extraho mundo en-
vuelve dolorosas preguntas, liga-
das, entrelazadas siempre, a ese
modo, un POGO aleg6rico, en- que Sc
d~esenvuelvn sus relatos.
En- LA edificaci6n de la mura-
LA china" nos habla de la cons
trucci6n de una inmensa muralla.
La Direction, la unica que contro-
la los pianos generates de la edi-
ficaci6n, ha Optado por un sistema

Y en- ell mismO relate dice: clos

dad mental son estrechos; la ma
terra que debere abarcar, infini-
ta."
Esquematicamente trazada es
esta la pregunta que Sc formula
Kafka, 10 mismo en- csc cuento que
en- Gel Proceso," aunque situada

en- LA edificaci6n de la muralla

La gaceta., 1943-07-28

81 en- la muralla china la Direc-
ci6n permanece O%culta, trazandO
sin embargo sus designiOs, desde
csc despacho donde "se agitaban
sin duda todos los pensamientos y
todos los deseos humanos e inver-
samente todas las metas y todas
las plenitudes," en- Gel Proceso"
es ell Supreme Tribunal Ell que Sc
mantiene o%culto, Y por ESQ la cues
ton de la justicia Sc vuelve an
gustiosa a traves del proceso de
Jose X 49,. que aGn POGO antes de
morir Sc pregunta: "ID6nde es-
taba ell Juez que no habia visto
nunca? blonde estaba la alta cor
te a la cual nunca habia llegado?"
Porque ell proceso empieza aqui,
ahora, en- cada momento, pues Ell
hombre toma contacto a cada pa
so con la J~usticia. Y de ALI las
frecuentes sorpesas de Jose K....

prendido por los agentes, que al
tropezar inesperadamente con ell

pintor Titorelli.
Todos los personajes de Gel
Proceso", ell doctor Huld, ell nego-
ciante Block, Leni, bajo su moder-
no a~pariencia, sirven tan solo pa
ra aclarar distintos aspectos del
proceso en- que Sc ha visto envuel-
to Jose K.... y que no termina
nunca, pues la soluci6n esta mas

Y, sin embargo, algo queda en-
claro; mientras ell negociante
Block pasa los dfas Y las noches

ell fallo de su pleito, en- medic de

coloca en- ell punto exacto. Decide
abandonarse a su propio esfuer-

her husband about it yet. Though she adored
him, and though he was the most sympathetic
of mortals. she didn't know that she ever
would. For she firmly intended to maneuver
the Baron Wimerding into position where
he could repay it. How she was going to do
this she had not, as yet figured out.
She found Jason in the hall, giving his hat
and stick to the butler. This just Gomez he
was asking as he picked up florists box from
a table.

Lily, walking home from her canteen duties
a few afternoons later, was mulling over the
Evening star., 1943-10-31

OILY THoRNDYKE stood very straight beside
the table and watched the wheel spin.
II She did not like to play roulette, and she
did not like the atmosphere of this clandestine
Park Avenue gambling establishment. If she
had had any idea Marcia Cranford's party
would wind up in place like this, she would
never have accepted Marcia's invitation.
Then, as she was wondering if she could
decently get away, door at the end of the
salon opened and quickly closed again.
Framed in Lily s mind was the glance she had
had of the room within: Another table, the
croupier motionless, regarding astutely the
man who stood beside it. He was thin,
dark-haired man. His face was haggard, the
cheekbones seeming to stretch the delicate
skin. His mouth was set in a line of bitter self
derision.
Lily had seen that expression many times,
beside many gaming tables - the desperate
expression of one who has taken last fling
and lost. But this time it was on the face OF
man she knew. She brimmed with indignation.
The Baron Wilmerding." she muttered to
herself
kILY's mind though it would not have been
unanimously selected as the shortest distance
between two given points, was never lacking
in determination or the power to start inn
plementing its ideas. She turned away from
the table and beckoned a liveried servant.
I'D like to play in there" she said,
indicating the closed door.
That is private room, Madame"
But Lily had not left her native land to
roam for many years across the continent OF
Europe without having learned to deal with
lackey Two minutes later she rested her
hand lightly on the arm of Baron Wilmerding
and said crisply, "Richardn
The Baron spun round. Lily" he exclaimed
incredulously. You - why you're just as
lovely as ever You haven't changed at all!''
Lily bit her lip. Although the man in the
street still got crick in his neck when she
tripped by. she was definitely at her prime.
AFTER ALL" she said dryly, we're still
in the twentieth century" Then - What are
you doing here?"
Wilmerding shrugged his shoulders in
gesture as eloquent DIS IL TIC Ildu lul Ieu out Ills

isn't there some place where we can have
a quiet talk?" asked Lily.
Wilmerding hesitated, but Lily's violet eyes
went beyond him to the croupier.

croupier, and summoned an attendant.
Lily didn't believe in raincing matters.
why aren't you in the army, Richard?'
Wilmerding shrugged again. mo good, you

feel that summer must have come.
Probably he is right, but one swaI-
low might have made q mistake
about the season.
Swallows do make a mistake now
and then about weather. From time
to time they have been found frozen
after meeting sudden cold spell.
In general, however, they are good
judges. Their usual custom Is to
move in flocks, and a whole flock
seldom, If ever, will make a mistake.
Swallows are among the birds
which have suffered q great deal by
flying against lighthouses. In an
effort to stop this loss OF bird life.
people have built perches on many
lighthouses. AS result some OF
the birds have learned to stop and
take rest on reaching lighthouse.
Bank swallows and certain of
their relatives live in holes in bluffs
or river banks. They may choose
an empty hole left by furry animals,
or they may dig holes for them
selves.
Although they like warm weather,
some swallows fly to Northern Cam
ada and Alaska. They stay In the
Far North only while good summer
weather exists there. More than TOO
holes of bank swallows have been
found on the face of a single sand
bluff in Alaska.
The majority of swallows, how
ever, make their nests from mud.
Finding a puddle or muddy bank,
they take away bits Of clay and
build home.
In colony Of cliff swallows, all
except one of tEe birds seemed busy
making clay nests by using mud
from puddle. The bird which was
not very busy was a female. She
may have been sick but possibly was
just lazy. Instead of making trips to
the puddle, she would wait until an
other bird brought in soft mud for
nest. After the other bird few
away for the next load, this crafty
swallow would steal the last load for
her own nest. This happened not
once but dozens of times. So far as
could be told, the other birds did not
notice the robbery which was go
ing on.

also the rise from the skull at an
obtuse angle to the plane of the

screwlike spiral. They may reach
a length of 3 feet 9 inches.
Usually kudu are found in small
parties or pairs. They love to
browse on the young and tender
shoots of trees and shrubs. They
'are rather gentle folk and get along
peaceably together.
When frightened a kudu may
voice his alarm by low bark. AS
rule he considers it far more
safe to race for the roughest ground.
Though fairly short legged and
small of hoof, they make ex-
cellent speed over terrain that is de-
cidedly difficult for pursuing foes.
