Rummaging through my bookshelves, we found some interesting books, both because of the quality of the texts and the generous autographs of the authors. One of them is the first edition of <em>Los d\u00edas de tu vida<\/em>, by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/tag\/eliseo-diego\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Eliseo Diego<\/strong><\/a>, Uni\u00f3n publishers, 1977.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cfinding\u201d led my sharing anecdotes in which my modest path crossed with that of the author of <em>En la calzada de Jes\u00fas del Monte<\/em>, one of the classics of Cuban poetry. Eliseo, at the same time as authority, gave off a human warmth that many times materialized in the painstaking attention when listening and in certain jaunty little lights that sparkled in his eyes. His goatee, his eternal pipe, his fine humor, made him a hybrid of an English lord and a Cuban prankster.<\/p>\n<h3>Being a poet must be demonstrated<\/h3>\n<p>I had approached him in the halls of the Union of Writers in the early 1970s, when I was joining the Hermanos Sa\u00edz Brigade. I quickly showed him some perfectly forgettable poems. He looked at my manuscript and told me: \u201cIf you let me have it for a few days, I can read it with the concentration that the case warrants. Come see me in my office next week, and we can talk there.\u201d He treated everyone as \u201custed,\u201d which in Spanish is a polite form of address.<\/p>\n<p>I of course entrusted him with my complete works&#8230;until then. And I began to count the days. When I thought it was time, I dropped by one morning where he worked. He received me with a cordiality that disarmed me from the outset.<\/p>\n<p>He spoke. I don\u2019t remember how much he said, because I was in a state of ecstasy that I haven\u2019t experienced since. When he finished giving me encouragement and suggesting readings, he let me know that what interested him most in my poems was what I had not written in them, the potentiality that made him augur (I remember that he used this verb) that I could write truly remarkable poems. What a fancy way of telling me that this was bullshit, and that what I should do was read and work more, to see if I ever managed to come up with something that wasn\u2019t bullshit!<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I was so comradely and happy with the maestro, that I ventured to blurt out, out loud, a stream of poems I had written since our last meeting. He listened to me with the resignation of a bull grazing in the rain, and from time to time he checked his wristwatch. But I didn\u2019t even notice. Around 11:30 in the morning he asked me: \u201cWould you like to meet Guill\u00e9n?\u201d How could I not like it, if I had practically learned to read with the \u201cEleg\u00eda a Jes\u00fas Men\u00e9ndez,\u201d which was one of my father\u2019s favorite poems?<\/p>\n<p>What I didn\u2019t know is that Nicol\u00e1s and Eliseo had a daily ritual. Half an hour before noon, they met in the office of the Presidency to joke and have an ice-cold vodka, as an aperitif before each one went home for lunch. In those meetings, I found out later, they joked like schoolchildren. The expansive character of Nicol\u00e1s fit perfectly with the serene forms of Eliseo, who smiled while his jokester fellow laughed heartily.<\/p>\n<p>Eliseo gave a few discreet taps on the door of Nicol\u00e1s\u2019s office, and from the other side he received a thunderous \u201ccome in.\u201d We had overcome the stumbling block of Sarah, the iron secretary, and if someone got there at that time, it couldn\u2019t be other than my guide for that day. Seeing that Eliseo was accompanied by a stranger, Guill\u00e9n was not very pleasantly surprised.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNicolas,\u201d Eliseo said, \u201cI present to you a young poet.\u201d To which the man from Camag\u00fcey responded with his proverbial grace and mental agility: \u201cI can see that he\u2019s young.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I stammered two or three words of greeting and left the office terrified. Behind me were the laughter and the humorous comments.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_268070\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-268070\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/nicolas-guillen-eliseo-diego-1-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-268070\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/nicolas-guillen-eliseo-diego-1-1-1024x641.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"641\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/nicolas-guillen-eliseo-diego-1-1-1024x641.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/nicolas-guillen-eliseo-diego-1-1-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/nicolas-guillen-eliseo-diego-1-1-768x481.jpg 768w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/nicolas-guillen-eliseo-diego-1-1-750x470.jpg 750w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/nicolas-guillen-eliseo-diego-1-1.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-268070\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Eliseo Diego and Nicol\u00e1s Guill\u00e9n.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Fray Luis de Leon<\/h3>\n<p>In 1975 he had entered the then Faculty of Philology. Very soon I alternated my duties as a student with work in the culture team of <em>Juventud Rebelde<\/em>. With what I didn\u2019t know at the time, five volumes of the <em>Encyclopedia Britannica<\/em> could be made (now there would be a few less). But I didn\u2019t think so. Ignorance is bold.<\/p>\n<p>In 1978 the collection of poems <em>Los d\u00edas de tu vida<\/em> fell into my hands, which, to put it quickly and badly, blew my mind. Alejandro Alonso, my boss, asked me to review that book for a Sunday edition, to which I more than gladly agreed.<\/p>\n<p>My very enthusiastic review, among other dalliances, advanced the risky theory that Eliseo owed a lot to Fray Luis de Le\u00f3n. Now that I think about it, perhaps it is not entirely nonsense to say that. But at that time, I knew about Fray Luis through his poems \u201cAl salir de la c\u00e1rcel,\u201d \u201cAgora con la aurora se levanta\u201d and little else.<\/p>\n<p>Mid-morning on Sunday my comment appeared, Eliseo called me to thank me for having noticed his book. Bella, his wife, and Rapi, Lichi and Fef\u00e9, his children, he told me, were very happy with the review; also Cintio and Fina.\u2026 At the end, at the farewell, he blurted out: \u201cListen, Alex, we have to meet sometime so that you can point out the points of contact that you find between me and the Salamancan.\u201d Needless to say, that possibility terrified me. What could I tell him if, honestly, I didn\u2019t know how I had come to write that?<\/p>\n<p>After that, every time we saw each other he reminded me that we had a pending conversation. I would get away as best I could and change the subject. I never asked him if he was really interested in my \u201ctheory\u201d or if it was a fraternal joke on his part.<\/p>\n<h3>The party<\/h3>\n<p>It must have been in the late 1980s. A cycle dedicated to the work of Jorge Sanjin\u00e9s was organized at the Cinemateca de Cuba. Now I don\u2019t remember at the screening of which film I met Eliseo, who was sitting two or three rows behind me. It may have been <em>Ukamau<\/em> (1966), <em>Yawar Malku<\/em> (1969) or <em>El coraje del pueblo<\/em> (1971). The fact is that in the film there was a sequence of some men celebrating something around a bonfire. They were drinking chicha and they sang and danced to the melancholic sound of the quena. I think what they were playing were huaynos.<\/p>\n<p>At the exit of the Charles Chaplin theater, Eliseo was waiting for me. Without further words, he told me: \u201cWhat a sad way these Bolivians have fun!\u201d And then he was lost, down 23rd street, in the night.<\/p>\n<p>The dedication of the book that has triggered these memories says: \u201cFor Alex, trusting that, no matter how hard or long the road is, he will find his Dulcinea, dawning on the word.\u201d Now it occurs to me to respond with a quote that, I\u2019m sure, he would have liked. It is also from Don Quixote:<\/p>\n<p><em>Evil signum! Evil signum! Hare runs away; greyhounds chase her: Dulcinea does not appear!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a
