No era yo, empero, un enemigo de quien se pudieran temer
traiciones ni bastardías; es decir, guerra baja ni encubierta de
críticas acerbas y de intrigas de bastidores: yo tenia mi entrada en
el Príncipe, á cuyas lunetas iba á aplaudir á Julian y á Matilde, pero
no
escribia
para ellos; era su amigo personal y su enemigo artístico;
era el aliado leal de Lombía, y le ayudaba á dar sus batallas llevando
á mi lado á Bárbara Lamadrid y á Cárlos Latorre, con cuyos dos atletas
le dí algunas victorias no muy fácilmente conseguidas, algunos puñados
de duros y algunas noches de sueño tranquilo.

The almond-groves of Samarcand,
Bokhara, where red lilies blow,
And Oxus, by whose yellow sand
The grave white-turbaned merchants go:
And on from thence to Ispahan,
The gilded garden of the sun,
Whence the long dusty caravan
Brings cedar wood and vermilion;
And that dread city of Cabool
Set at the mountain’s scarpèd feet,
Whose marble tanks are ever full
With water for the noonday heat:
Where through the narrow
straight
Bazaar
A little maid Circassian
Is led, a present from the Czar
Unto some old and bearded Khan,—
Here have our wild war-eagles flown,
And flapped wide wings in fiery fight;
But the sad dove, that sits alone
In England—she hath no delight.
