My Greyhound Has Dry Flaky Skin

Falleció el escritor Ernesto Sábato


April was a cruel month with Latin American literature. On Saturday April 30 was the turn of Ernesto Sabato, a large literature of Argentina. As a tribute to this tremendous writer, we left some of his texts book "You and the Universe" and a short review ( Source ).

Ernesto Sabato (pronounced "Sabato" and usually written with accents, but added he did not) (town of Rojas, Buenos Aires, June 24, 1911 - Holy Places, April 30, 2011) was a writer, essayist, physicist and Argentine painter. He wrote three novels: The Tunnel, On Heroes and Tombs and Abaddon the destroyer, and countless essays on the human condition. Painting



"Painting was my first passion, since childhood, when he still could not read or write. But to start high school, she was a teenager, I started to describe, awkwardly, nightmares and hallucinations that I had at that unhappy period. Fortunately, the destroyed when I had more awareness. During the nearly half a century devoted to books. I always felt the painful yearning for that first call, and could not enter the shop of a friend without starting to feel a pervasive sadness: just the smell of turpentine. That feeling was intensified in Paris before World War II, while working at the Curie Laboratory and was to meet with the surreal, as if a good and honest housewife overnight delivery to prostitution.
was when I joined with Wifredo Lam, Matta, Tristan Tzara and Breton himself. "

Some of his poems


- Values \u200b\u200b-

In the history of thought we often find ourselves with the ingenuity
attributed to God our ethical and aesthetic prejudices. When
find some natural law that pleases or satisfies us, we
inclined to think that is proof of the existence of God;
vanity, man thinks that only a god can shape their tastes
. When Maupertuis discovered the principle of Least Action,
said it was the best proof of the existence of a spirit Computer.
do not see why, however, something that satisfies the poor and
limited mind of man is bound to be God's work. Vanity
similar to that experienced when an author seems intelligent because
think like us.


- Pure Poetry -

Some argue that pure poetry should not intervene didactic elements, other elements have banned philosophical, political, racial, scientists, and others, the musical values, such as rhythm and rhyme. It would be nice to write a poem purified according to all these recommendations, there would be nothing.

It is believed that the problem of pure poetry is a big problem because it is endless, forgetting that they were also endless medieval disputes about how many grains of wheat form a heap. In fact, modern logistics would say that both documents are seudoproblemas definition: given a definition of the dispute is over, that just because everyone talks about something different.

In general, all concepts entering the word "pure" are suspected of scholasticism: pure poetry, pure breed, pure music. I propose the following definition: "all poetry is pure poetry free of impurity." It may seem annoying, but recognize that it is irrefutable. Ernesto Sabato
