Words Homero Manzi
"Sometimes, someone who is owner of great forces, will have to perform the test of the influence of popular as the destiny of our America, for only then can we have the notion that we are admiring.
This poor America was their culture and he was doing, maybe golden failure, its own history and that suddenly illuminated admirals, ecumenical kings, cardinals wise, tough and stubborn warriors catechists , ordered: Change your skin! wears those clothes! Love this God! Dance this music! Live this story!.
Our poor America which began running on a track unknown and unrelated goals behind carrying 15 centuries of disadvantage, our poor America that began to carve the body of Christ when thousands of feverish hands for art and faith, had perfected the task lighting experience, our poor America that began to pray when they were already pre-history the old wills, and when the Gospels were written message, when Homer had threaded its long string of verses as Dante had fulfilled his divine journey.
Our poor America began a new industry where the barrels of Europe were transferred of odorous and ancient spirits, when the looms were established by the subtle and surprising patterns, where the gold could be proud of its past with names except when true magicians, selecting wood with cavities and varnishes, knew assemble instruments sound wonderful when history was full of warriors, the soul full of mystics, philosophers thought full of the beauty full of artists and full of wise science.
Our poor America, which seemed no other destination that correspond to the mutation. Everything was well done, everything was superbly finished why our music? Why do our gods? Why our fabrics? Why our science? Why our wine? All that crossed the sea, was better, and when we had the popular salvation appeared to save, creating people, tenacious people.
popular thing did not compare the bad with the good, bad and did what he did when creating the taste necessary to reject not his own bill and blindly, unconsciously, stoically, he lent his acceptance of what came of himself and his heroic repudiation of what came from afar.
Meanwhile, the anti-people, ie, cultured, that is perfect, rejecting all the same and accepting everything foreign, latching the hope of winning that is the target of America.
why I, with the drama of being a man of the world, if man in America, where Argentine man, I have set myself the task of loving all that is born of the people, to love everything that comes to town, to love everything that he hears the people. "
