Ahora está templada en la bahía y sus velas se las ha llevado el viento. Pero también ella fue marinera y briosa un día, recibiendo su bautismo de salitre y aventura. No obstante, como a los seres humanos, ese mal inevitable llamado vejez, inadvertidamente, la vino un día a visitar. Y sin embargo, después de todo, todavía conserva una parte interesante de su belleza original, que hace bueno aquél refrán que dice que quien tuvo, retuvo.
Cuando la vi, melancólicamente anclada allá en la ría de San Vicente de la Barquera, recuerdo que un pensamiento me rondó con inusitada insistencia y sólo pensé en una cosa: 'Carpe Diem'. Vive siempre el momento, como si fuera el último, porque como afirmaba con mucho acierto también, aquél otro axioma latino: ‘todas las horas hieren, pero la última mata’.
Y al fin y al cabo, como concluían Calderón y Quevedo -que por algo tuvimos un Siglo de Oro, que afortunadamente destacó de aquéllos otros de plomo que cosechamos después- ‘la vida es sólo un sueño, una ilusión, un frenesí’.
Photography and Reflection: old age is also marine
Now it is warm in the bay and its sails have been blown away by the wind. But she was also seaworthy and spirited one day, receiving her baptism of salt and adventure. However, like human beings, that inevitable evil called old age, inadvertently, came one day to visit. And yet, after all, it still retains an interesting part of its original beauty, which makes good that saying that whoever had, retained.
When I saw her, melancholically anchored there in the estuary of San Vicente de la Barquera, I remember that a thought came over me with unusual insistence and I only thought of one thing: 'Carpe Diem'. Live always the moment, as if it were the last, because as he affirmed with great success also, that other Latin axiom: 'all the hours hurt, but the last one kills'.
And at the end of the day, as Calderón and Quevedo concluded - that we had a Golden Century for something, which fortunately stood out from those of lead that we later harvested - 'life is only a dream, an illusion, a frenzy'.
