The Two Spains two_spains.1 · dlc016

In a cottage on the outskirts of Barcelona, a woman with blistered hands wraps a woolen thread around the pegs of a loom. The factory required five meters by the end of the week, and as it demanded, it would receive. In Andalucía, a man swings his hoe into the unforgiving soil. A line of a hundred stands on each side of him. None of them would ever know anything more. Outside a tent in Toledo, an officer walks along a line of conscripts. His head is full of gunsmoke, and theirs contain nothing at all. They would need to learn, he knew. How to forage, how to make one cartridge do the work of ten. If the moral truly outweighed the material, it would be proven here.

"Through Catholicism man recognized the law of order, and through man this order entered into society. The redemption regained for the moral world the laws which it had lost through prevarication and sin. Catholic dogma became the criterion for the sciences, Catholic ethics the guide for human actions, and Catholic charity the standard for the affections. Human conscience, freed from the corrosive action of error and sin, was thus enlightened in its interior, as in its exterior darkness. And, guided bv the light of these three criterions, was restored to the felicity of lost innocence." — Juan Donoso Cortés, Essays on Catholicism, Liberalism, and Socialism

"Is this it? Do we have the Republic?" Francisco looked up at the open window, at the pale copyist leaning out of it. The scent of ink and candle wax wafted out after him. "Not yet, but soon," he replied. "We can hope! That's more than we could say last week!"
