EVIL DOES NOT WIN WHERE VIRTUE HAS NOT TURNED INSIPID (SON OF EUROPE)

EL MAL NO TRIUNFA DONDE EL BIEN NO SE HA VUELTO SOSO

HUMILITY IS THE EPISTEMOLOGICAL REQUIREMENT FOR SOME PERCEPTIONS

He who has power, has it by historical logic
Respectfully bow to that logic.

Let your lips, proposing a hypothesis
Not know about the hand faking the experiment

Let your hand, faking the experiment
No know about the lips proposing a hypothesis

Learn to predict a fire with unerring precision
Then burn the house down to fulfill the prediction

The laughter born of the love of truth

Is now the laughter of the enemies of the people.

Gone is the age of satire. We no longer need mock

The sensible monarch with false courtly phrases.

Stern as befits the servants of a cause,

We will permit ourselves sycophantic humor.

Tight-lipped, guided by reasons only

Cautiously let us step into the era of the unchained fire.

Czeslaw Milosz

(Son of Europe)

QUE LOS LABIOS QUE POSTULAN UNA HIPÓTESIS NO SEPAN

NADA DE LAS MANOS QUE FALSIFICAN EL EXPERIMENTO

(...)

LA RISA QUE SURGE DEL RESPETO A LA VERDAD

ES LA RISA QUE PERTENECE A LOS ENEMIGOS DEL PUEBLO

HA TERMINADO EL SIGLO DE LA SÁTIRA.YA NO NOS BURLAREMOS

DE LOS MONARCAS INEPTOS CON UNA LENGUA MALICIOSA
