LA MADRE QUE LOS PARIÓ

Tres días lleva de parto la buena mujer mientras los matasanos en ciernes y el bardo empinan el codo y arman jarana. Por allí se deja caer nuestro caballero que, animoso como siempre, se une a la fiesta de buen grado.

En brillante charla debaten sobre el mandato bíblico de “creced y multiplicaos”, aunque lo único que aumenta son los dolores de la parturienta. Los padres de la lengua aportan cada uno su granito de arena, pero la madre se resiste a soltar lo que lleva dentro.

Sufre el bardo al verse tratado de cura vergonzante y oír cómo se pone en duda su talento. Sus penas son tantas que intenta matarlas bebiendo, pero ni así se mueren. Piadoso, Bloom lo toma bajo su protección.

Cuando por fin se anuncia el feliz desenlace ya nadie recuerda por qué está allí. ¡Horror! Se han acabado las existencias. Todos a la taberna.

O swift goes my boat like a bird an the billow,
The boat of my heart-my trim Ben-my-Chree;
But swifter than bird leaps my love from her pillow,
The girl of my heart, who is waiting for me;
And down drops the anchor, the brown sails are falling,
And out on the shingle we leap in our glee:
But for all the bright eyes and the laughter and calling,
The girl of my heart is all that I see.
Mona, my own love; Mona, my true love,
Art thou not mine thro' the long years to be?
By the bright stars above thee, I love thee, I love thee,
Live for thee, die for thee, only for thee-
Oh, Mona, Mona, my own love,
Art thou not mine thro' the long years to be?
Farewell ! all is over, the bitter tears falling
My life is a wreck on a dark winter sea;
The innocent days are all gone past recalling,
There yawns a dark gulf 'twixt my darling and me;
I pass to my exile, alone, unbefriended,
The summer days mock me with gladness and mirth;
For only with death will that exile be ended,
Thou'rt lost to me, darling, for ever on earth.
Mona, my own love; Mona, my lost love,
Pray for me, pray, thro' the long years to be
And the angels above thee, who pity and love thee,
Will plead for me also, and bring me to thee
Oh, Mona, Mona, my lost love,
Pray for me, pray, thro' the long years to be.

The National Maternity Hospital


La carta al amigo


"Am working hard at Oxen of the Sun, the idea being the crime committed against fecundity by sterilizing the act of coition. Scene, lying-in hospital. Technique: a nineparted episode without divisions introduced by a Sallustian-Tacitean prelude (the unfertilized ovum), then by way of earliest English alliterative and monosyllabic and Anglo-Saxon (‘Before born the babe had bliss. Within the womb he won worship.’ ‘Bloom dull dreamy heard: in held hat stony staring’) then by way of Mandeville (‘there came forth a scholar of medicine that men clepen etc’) then Malory’sMorte d’Arthur (‘but that franklin Lenehan was prompt ever to pour them so that at the least way mirth should not lack’), then the Elizabethan chronicle style (‘about that present time young Stephen filled all cups’), then a passage solemn, as of Milton, Taylor, Hooker, followed by a choppy Latin-gossipy bit, style of Burton-Browne,  then  a  passage  Bunyanesque  (‘the reason was that in the way he fell in with a certain whore whose name she said is Bird in the hand’) after a diarystyle bit Pepys-Evelyn (‘Bloom sitting snug with a party of wags, among them Dixon jun., Ja. Lynch, Doc. Madden and Stephen D. for a languor he had before and was now better, he having dreamed tonight a strange fancy and Mistress Purefoy there to be delivered, poor body, two days past her time and the midwives hard put to it, God send her quick issue’) and so on through Defoe-Swift and Steele-Addison-Sterne and Landor-Pater-Newman until it ends in a frightful jumble of Pidgin English, nigger English, Cockney, Irish, Bowery slang and broken doggerel. This progression is also linked back at each part subtly with some foregoing episode of the day and, besides this, with the natural stages of development in the embryo and the periods of faunal evolution in general. The double-thudding Anglo-Saxon motive recurs from time to time (‘Loth to move from Horne’s house’) to give the sense of the hoofs of oxen. Bloom is the spermatozoon, the hospital the womb, the nurse the ovum, Stephen the embryo. 
                        How’s that for high?"

Saint Patrick´s

Dear friends,

The Embassy is delighted to let you know that this year will once again see a family-friendly celebration of St. Patrick’s Day here in Madrid.  This year’s event will be held on Sunday, 13th March at the Parque Deportivo Puerta de Hierro. 

The event, which will take place from 13:00 to 18:00, promises to be a fantastic day out for everyone, offering a range of activities including Irish sport, music, dance, storytelling and theatre.  There will be a particular focus on activities of interest to children and families, with the day featuring Gaelic games for children organised by Madrid’s very own GAA club, the Madrid Harps Youths. Childrens theatre will be provided by Interacting and Irish dancing workshops by the Irish Treble Dancers.  Irish beverage products will be available for purchase at the venue while those attending may also bring their own picnic with them to enjoy at the park. 

Further information on the day’s activities and the location of the event is available in the attached flyer. 

We warmly invite you to share this invitation widely with friends and family, bearing in mind that the event is open not only to members of the Irish community here in Madrid but also to Spanish and international friends of Ireland.  

For more information please don’t hesitate to contact Keith Curran atsecretary.madridyouths.europe@gaa.ie

A LA SOMBRA DE LAS MUCHACHAS EN FLOR


Descansa melancólico nuestro buen amigo después del mal trago del pésame en la casa de Paddy Dignam. No somos nadie. Y el día, que ha sido de no te menees. La vista de la bahía al atardecer le reconforta; belleza, paz, música religiosa y recuerdos de tiempos pasados.

Parece como si el tiempo se hubiese detenido y de hecho siguen siendo las cuatro y media, la hora fatal. ¿Fatalidad o magnetismo? Qué más da. Ya pasó y el tiempo vuelve a su curso. Tic, tac. Tic, tac.

¡Vaya con la niña cursi! La chiquilla le ha vuelto loco y es que todas las mujeres son iguales. Desde bien pequeñas lo único que buscan es eso. No importa que esta sea coja. Por lo demás es de primera. En cambio, las otras, tan solo mala intención y ganas de fastidiar. Bien sabía ella lo que se hacía con tanto mirar y tantos fuegos artificiales. A ver qué hace ahora nuestro pobre caballero extranjero con la pólvora derramada.


En fin, hay que irse recogiendo. Perfumes abandonados, misteriosos mensajes en la arena. El cuco da las nueve.
