Para toda la negacion que te-

Esta confession no es ell fruto de
IN coraz6n largamente desen-
cantado, pues la joven mexica-
ma Juana de Asbaje y Ramirez
de Santillana, dana de honor
de la vlrreina, marquesa de Man
cera. tuvo que hacer frente al
asedio amoroso Y constante de
los mozos de su tempo -siglo
XVII, atraidos quizas mas por
su. su extraordinaria belleza que
por la nombradfa de SUI saber
precoz.
81 bien de la obra poetica de
sor Juana Ines de la Cruz es
necesario separar la parte pro-
fana de la puramente religiosa,
mencs divulgada y mejor, Sc ad-
vierte a traves de la primera la
aguda perception que tenia aque
liza inquleta monja jeronima de
los problemas que al corazon Sc
refieren, quiza un producto de
SUI propia experienced -dicese
que la muerte del unico hombre

cida a la mayor Gloria del Sc
nor.
"Amor empieza por desaso-
siego,
soilcitud, ardores y desvelos;
erece con riesgos, lances y
recelos,
sustentase de llantos y de
ruegos".
No solo esta definicion poeti-
ca DEF amor assume preparedness
de verdadera belleza. Una de
sus redondillas ha trascendido
universalmente. Es la tan COMO
cida defensa de la mujer, que
conmueve mas que por SUI fuer-
"a de alegato por provenir de
quien proviene, cuyos versos I'M
ciales dice:
"Hombres necios que acusais
a la mujer sin razon,
sin yer que sois la OCCASION
de ESQ mismo que culpais".
No hay gradacion, sublimidad
o altipaio del amor humane que
no hayan sido ~captados y men,
SuradoS liricamente por esta mu-
jer tenaz, que mas ALA del locu-
torio, imitando unas veces a Cal
deron y otras a Gongora, aporta
a 10 temporal su algeria de vivir,
que 40 es pecado. y a 10 eterno
el fuego de su vocation;

ing Grade in any public school
district in the State of Delaware
which has heretofore not ad-

they are chosen, and told of the
examinations given. The young
student told of coming to New
