EL GRAN APAGÓN NEOYORQUINO DEL 77

 

Han pasado 48 años pero lo recuerdo como si fuese ahora. Aquel tórrido verano en Nueva York. Aquel 13 de julio amaneció radiante y de mañanita tomé el subway.

En el andén solitario me topé con un monje ruso vestido de negro con largas barbas bizantinas y una cabellera merovingia que se derramaban sobre sus vestimentas talares. Me miraba intensamente con tal fuerza que hube de agachar la cabeza.

De pronto desapareció y yo tomé el tren ascendente hasta una de las estaciones de la primera Avenida para acercarme a  mi despacho en la ONU. Yo había mandado a mi esposa a parir a España porque los gastos clínicos e América me hubieran salido por un ojo de la cara. Me sentía algo solo y deprimido.

Hacía un mes que había nacido en Oviedo mi hijo Toñín y yo estaba solo en aquel apartamento  Manhattan una torre de cuarenta pisos en Waterside Plaza, que me salía por un ojo de la cara pues se me llevaba casi la mitad de mi jornal.

Nueva York era para mí, un europeo con raíces medievales, una ciudad extraña, donde podían ocurrir cosas muy raras.

Así que la visión de aquel monje negro en el andén de una de las estaciones del Downtown podría ser una lucubración de mi mente calenturienta.

 Aquel verano yo leía a Chejov que escribió un cuento con ese nombre El Monje Negro y a Julio Camba el cual en la Ciudad Automática nos acerca hasta las fronteras del caos y vaticina lo que podría ocurrir en la Gran  Manzana si se va la luz. Bueno aquel 13 de julio de 1977 se fue la luz.

Ya en mi despacho de la ONU no pude transmitir mi crónica por el teleoperador.

Reinaba la confusión. No funcionaban los ascensores ni las escaleras mecánicas. Uno de mis colegas creo que era Valverde el del YA que llevaba un transistor de bolsillo nos hizo formar un corrillo para escuchar las noticias que transmitía una emisora local.

“Salgan inmediatamente. Esto puede ser un ataque nuclear”. Miré con desparpajo a  José María Carrascal que había llegado presuroso desde su casa de Queens que perdía el bofe a bordo de su wolkswagen traído de Alemania.

─Caramba.

─No creo que sean los rusos. Esto parece un simulacro de alerta máxima dijo Carrascal.

Había que tomar el tole pero tardamos casi un cuarto de hora de salir del edificio azul (así llamaban a la sede de Naciones Unidas). Los funcionarios, legaciones diplomáticas, traductores y hasta las señoras de la limpieza se agolpaban frente a los parterres de la verja de salida y había que salir de uno en uno. He de recordar que tales simulacros de alerta nuclear eran frecuentes en el Nueva York de aquellos tiempos cuando estaba aun en en vigor los tejemanejes de la guerra fría.

La ciudad contaba con varios refugios atómicos, según conté yo en un reportaje (ver las colecciones antiguas de los periódicos estatales). La First Avenue también era un caos. Habían bajado las hordas del uppertown y se dedicaban al pillaje de los comercios.

Desvalijaban todo lo que encontraban. Vi a negros altos y fuertes como hotentotes que cargaban con televisores, lavadoras, aspiradoras y toda clase de electrodomésticos a la espalda. Esto es lo que pasa cuando se va la luz, ya lo había profetizado Julio Camba en la Ciudad Automática. Somos muy frágiles y si una mano negra corta el hilo conductor del gran guiñol empieza la danza.

¿Pero era o no era un ataque de los rusos? Transcurrido casi medio siglo no sabría qué responder ni a qué carta quedarme.

Por lo pronto no existía entonces el internet. Eso sí América se sentía amenazada por el temor del que vienen los rusos y esa frase era algo más que el título de una película.

Por fin en medio de la gran pecorea pude abrirme paso hasta Waterside Plaza. Allí el portero (doorman) que era un portorriqueño muy simpático al cual le hablabas en español y te contestaba en inglés o viceversa me comunicó que los ascensores no funcionaban.

Hube de subir los 24 pisos hasta mi apartamento a pata. Allí pude largar mi crónica por teléfono que sí que funcionaba.

Pueden consultar en la edición de ARRIBA del 14 de julio de 1977, una crónica de circunstancias ya digo y sin paños al púlpito. Yo estaba deprimido. Un hijo me acababa de nacer. Mi familia estaba lejos y yo me sentía desolado en medio de la inmensa ciudad con vistas al Empire State Building y a las Torres Gemelas. No había luz en  las ventanas de los rascacielos.

Nueva York parecía una ciudad fantasma. Contemplé el skyline. La Gran Manzana ofrece unos ocasos espectaculares. A la hora del atardecer (sunset) que suelen ser mucho más rápidos y fulminantes, como en el trópico, que en Madrid o en Oviedo puesto que el meridiano neoyorquino lo muestran los mapas casi una cuarta más abajo que el de Sicilia.

 A oscuras me fui a la cama. A media noche soñó el teléfono; recibí una grata llamada transoceánica desde Oviedo. Mi suegro Gabriel Tuya, el hombre estaba preocupado por las noticias que llegaban acerca dfel apagón. Estaba al aparato:

─Antonio ¿estás bien después del apagón?

─Sobrevivo ¿El niño?

─Una preciosidad. Todo un carballón

─Vale que esto corre.

Colgué y ya no me acordaba del monje negro, ni de la gran pecorea, ni del saco de Roma, ni de las alertas nucleares. La luz vendría al día siguiente

¿ERA EL ANTICRISTO?

 

¿ERA EL ANTICRISTO?

 

EN LA MUERTE DEL PAPA BERGOGLIO

La que no perdona a nadie se ha llevado por delante al papa Francisco esta mañana lunes de pascua. 

Los papas vienen y van, y vanidad de vanidades. 

Cristo nos recuerda que El venció al mundo, al demonio y a la carne. 

A lo largo y ancho de las páginas de este blog expuse la postura de este pontificado que me pareció nefasta. 

Cabe recordar que Bergoglio pese a su nombre franciscano de Francisco era un jesuita y seguía en política la norma ignaciana de que el fin justifica los medios y en ese sentido se unió a los poderes fácticos, justicieros, artífices de las guerras.

 Por ejemplo, ni media palabra de condena salió de sus labios por la masacre de palestinos por los israelíes en Gaza, bendijo a otro criminal de guerra el ucraniano Zelenski al que recibió en el Vaticano con los brazos abiertos.

 Bergoglio parecía estar a sueldo de Soros y del gran poder Sionista americano. 

No tuvo coraje para entablar un dialogo con la iglesia ortodoxa. Abortó sus encuentros con el patriarca Cirilo. No entendió que el origen de la guerra tuvo una causa y un origen estadounidense al objeto de acabar con Rusia. 

Yo no sé si era un hombre de fe. 

Lo que sí que sé es que no era un hombre de verdad. ¿Accedió al pontificado mediante un golpe de estado contra Ratzinger? ¿Era un antipapa? En ciertos medios católicos cundió el temor de que fuese un anticristo.

 Por sus obras los conoceréis y ha dejado a las iglesias europeas con el culo al aire, no las conoce ni la madre que la parió. Eso sí mucho autobombo, con su nombre todos los días en los telediarios alabándole las gracias y sus estratagemas para poner a la Iglesia boca abajo. 

Los enemigos de nuestra fe lo adoraban y jaleaban. 

Roma sigue padeciendo de macrocefalia. Es un cuerpo muy chico con la cabeza muy grande. 

Dios le perdone aunque de todo esto tendrá que dar cuenta a su Creador el día del juicio. Hoy volvió a doblar a muerto el Campanóne de la basílica de san Pedro. escuché su tañido siete veces desde la muerte de Pio XII y la elección de Juan XXIII, seguida de la de Pablo VI. A continuación la del papa Juan Pablo I el cual supuestamente sólo duró cuarenta días y pudo morir envenenado la de Juan Pablo II, Benedicto XVI y la de Francisco I.

Son siete papas a los que he visto ascender y descender a la silla gestatoria. 

El Señor me concedió el don de una vida larga. Mucho vieron mis ojos. Con todo y eso, creo que vivimos un tiempo de renovación y de esperanza, puesto que después de tiempos vienen tiempos

 BELLEZA DEL LENGUAJE MARINERO

 

España enseñó a navegar a medio mundo. Gobernaba las olas y ese poderío quedó reflejado en los diccionarios. Cuando veo trajinar a la marinería de Juan Sebastián Elcano con la princesa a bordo se me viene a las mientes el pensamiento de que quien gobierna un barco sabrá gobernar las olas. Spain rules the waves. La arboladura de este buque de vela es imponente con sus cuatro mástiles: el palo mayor, palo de mesana, trinquete y bauprés. Veo trepar por los cabrios y alcanzar los obenques y sujetar los estays al patarráez, hay que izar el pabellón de combate. El capitán dirige la operación desde la toldilla. Un marinero larga una estacha desde la amura de proa. Sopla viento de bolina. Nos ceñimos a la banda. Daremos la vuelta al mundo

EDWARD THE CONFESSOR

 By Antonio PARRA-GALINDO:-

 When I went to England for the second time in October 1966, the whole country was in celebration and ephemeredes of the founder of English monarchy, Edward III the Confessor.

 I arrived late to the school where I was supposed to teach Spanish in two secondary schools one was run by the state and the other was catholic an it was first there I me the philistine Paul Preston; he was my pupil in the sixth form a sort of very thick bloke but very conceited as an assistant four days late. I nearly got the sack.

The headmaster was mad for my lack of punctuality. Oh boy these Spaniards always siesta drinking sangria, thinking of sex, eating olives and oil and riding donkeys. Hull up north by the Humber was the dullest town an inhospitable of my whole life. What a grotty place! Also I starved.

 The grant I received from the Government was insufficient: if I paid the rent, I did not eat, and if I ate I was always in arrears with my grudging landlady who was an old bird who spend all her days looking through the windows panes at the traffic of Beverley road very scarce on those days. All her meagre pension went, as she was an animal lover and member of the Society of cat lovers, and feeding seven cats one of them was a civet cat big and fat it was castrated, randy sort of devil who went courting and womanizing in the freezing January nights and got involved in fights with rival males, received scratches and one love-quarrel left him one-eyed.

 It seems that the poor eunuch was the favourite. Its name was Persha and she talked to it as it the poor fleecy feline was her baby.

Miss Simpson was lonely and quiet very thin and grudging she left written notes and posted them underneath the threshold door. Always complaining of the misdemeanour of tenants.

 One day she passed away. I think she starved herself. Her budget was much in fags, and little in solid food, I think she only ate biscuits. We had to find other abodes. The house was close on her decease.

 She had lung cancer and heard her suspicious cough many a night downstairs. The England I encountered had nothing to do with the old merry England I dreamt ad learnt in books: cathedrals, cottages, nice pubs and songs, Shakespeare.

 There was no cathedral in Hull a town which had been destroyed by the Luftwaffe bombers during the blitz: the harbour was horrid and still in ruins. I never have been in such grotty places. Hull held the record for the ugliest women of the world and most horripilate tarts in the whole planet. You smelled poverty every where.

 Most of the men were on the dole and still there was rationing.

 In Beverly a mile away there was a Minster but the cathedrals in England had nothing to do with the idea I preconceived from them. They were monuments to British patriotism. Britannia was a religion.

 I realized that since God is an Englishman. Anglicanism became a sort of religion based on the Bible and the hatred to the pope. The Beatles blasted their songs. English wives ran away with the milkman. Mr Harold Wilson lived in number ten Downing Street and there were strikes and Trade Unions. And sittings in and anti Vietnam War demos. Make love not war. Those were the sixties. Where was Edward the Third? No where. People stopped going to church and parsons preached to empty congregations.

I bought myself a transistor and heard my favourite programme Ten of the pops. Girls dressed mini skirts and there was black and white TV. There was David Frost with that was the week that was, Alf Garnet and the Two Ronnies.

 I understood the congenial English but could not follow the conversation in the Yorkshires dialect. We are blunt and down to earth you know. Where was Edward the confessor? Where the old merry England of my dreams? I had read many books on Medieval England but even the British medievalists they drive on the left and they had their own peculiar ideas and won’t tolerate a foreigner to tell them what to do and things are they are. I was looking for Edward the Confessor and I found Perfidious and fastidious Albion. And milk ´goat. The Brits are milks goats. They don’t mix with anything. Good insulars. Abroad they hold on the balance of power and they don’t have friends but interests. That’s it British interests. Pride and prejudice that was a rule in the character of those northerners and they are proud and prejudiced and they could become nasty and xenophobic. In the staff room the other masters looked at me with a chip on their shoulder. Oh dear I never could become an English. What disillusionment. I never shall become one of hem.

At the doldrums, I spent half of the time reading since all half my allowance went to the book shops and the other half in beer and chasing the mini skirts.

 Without boasting the thought I was an Italian and they got romantic and sang to me the song oh Antonio selling good lollipops and ice cream. Your lodgings or mine that was the question on the Saturday night. And we tossed a tanner in the air and it was love at first sight. Please not the whole way. I am not in the pill. A dissipated life I lead and I sinner I was those days but it was easy to score in those days of the swinging sixties looking Italian speaking good English and without being too handsome having feeling. On their arms I felt like a gigolo. A man object I felt. And the one of the first words I learned was wily. How is your wily, mate? Ready for Virginia, then. Let’s go. Come on. Your place. My place.

 Hull and London girls liked Latin lovers. They used me like a disposable nappy. Mea culpa. Mea culpa.

But where was old the confessor? That year was the ninth centenary of the battle of Hastings. The British defeated the Danish.

 King Edward the confessor 1004-1066 lived in the dark middle ages when the bishop of Rome died by poison. He tried to raise the standards of English Christendom. He built the abbey of Westminster. It was the time of the investitures. His personality has come to us shrouded in the mist of myths and legends.

 All we know for certain is that he defeated the Vikings and had to suffer exile and the misunderstand of her mother- terrible shortcoming, the king had to put up with his maternal ingratitude and became a saint by means of tolerance and patience- who married Knut his best enemy who plundered with the Vikings all the coast of East Anglia.

 Edward descendant of Alfred the Great spent most of his live in the exile in France and was crowned in the abbey of Westminster.

 He married another saint and queen Sancta Edita.

 In my apartment of Beverley road, damp with falling wall paper and with a gas heater which cost me a fortune you had to keep patenting shillings in the slit and hardly and went that terrible winter of 56 without electricity for lack of payment, I meditated shivering underneath my craggy blankets and half starving about this mysterious king.

 He was a kind o of anticlimax. I thought that the confessor of the Faith was only in my head. He did not exist.

 Nearly naked or in rags like most of poor students, I bought clothes at pawn shops and dowdies.

 I smoked woodbine and N.6 horrid cigarettes and mean and down to earth like the Northerners I came across. They made you cough and no wonder they gave lung cancer to my good landlady. I was a regular at the Bull a rough pub at the intersection of Beverley and Nottingham road. My teaching was a disaster.

I had a fight with that Paul Preston because of Franco. He is now a very renowned historian of the Spanish Civil war. Preston hated Spaniards. I could not stand him.

 In spite of that I saved my pennies for tickets at local pubs and the dancing halls. There was one dancing called the Locarno I remember well... There I met nymphomaniacs. They liked quickies in the street alleys too call or on the back of a car.

But where was Edward the confessor? Not in Hull the dull. That king was a sort of fiasco. All England was a kind of fiasco. I learnt the language and I learned love and the facts of life the hard way.

 Of course England had me in a way but it was tough and very disappointed in those bad old days.

Nay more, I count everything loss because of the excelling knowledge of Jesus Christ, my Lord. For His sake I have suffered the loss of all things, and I count them as dung that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having a justice of my own, which is from the Law, but that which is from faith in Christ, the justice from God based upon faith; so that I may know Him and the power of His Resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings: become like to Him in death, in the hope that somehow I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. Not that I have already obtained this, or already have been made perfect, but I press on hoping that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has laid hold of me. ℟. Thanks be to God.

Top  Next ℣. Dóminus vobíscum. ℟. Et cum spíritu tuo. Inítium + sancti Evangélii secúndum Ioánnem ℟. Glória tibi, Dómine. Ioann. 1, 1-14. Iunctis manibus prosequitur: In princípio erat Verbum, et Verbum erat apud Deum, et Deus erat Verbum. Hoc erat in princípio apud Deum. Omnia per ipsum facta sunt: et sine ipso factum est nihil, quod factum est: in ipso vita erat, et vita erat lux hóminum: et lux in ténebris lucet, et ténebræ eam non comprehendérunt. Fuit homo missus a Deo, cui nomen erat Ioánnes. Hic venit in testimónium, ut testimónium perhibéret de lúmine, ut omnes créderent per illum. Non erat ille lux, sed ut testimónium perhibéret de lúmine. Erat lux vera, quæ illúminat omnem hóminem veniéntem in hunc mundum. In mundo erat, et mundus per ipsum factus est, et mundus eum non cognóvit. In própria venit, et sui eum non recepérunt. Quotquot autem recepérunt eum, dedit eis potestátem fílios Dei fíeri, his, qui credunt in nómine eius: qui non ex sanguínibus, neque ex voluntáte carnis, neque ex voluntáte viri, sed ex Deo nati sunt. Genuflectit dicens: Et Verbum caro factum est, Et surgens prosequitur: et habitávit in nobis: et vídimus glóriam eius, glóriam quasi Unigéniti a Patre, plenum grátiæ et veritátis. ℟. Deo grátias.	55 P. The Lord be with you. S. And with thy spirit. The beginning + of the holy Gospel according to John ℟. Glory be to Thee, O Lord. John 1, 1-14 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him, and without Him was made nothing that was made: in Him was life, and the life was the Light of men; and the Light shineth in darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man came for a witness, to testify concerning the Light, that all might believe through Him. He was not the Light, but he was to testify concerning the Light. That was the true Light, which enlighteneth every man that cometh into this world. He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. But as many as received Him to them He gave power to become sons of God, to them that believe in His Name, who are born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. Here all kneel. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us: and we saw His glory, the glory as of the Only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. ℟. Thanks be to God.
