From " The Princess and the Dragon", an excerpt you where you can appreciate the simple and fresh for his stories and genius of his lyrics ...
(EXCERPT "Part IX")
(...) That other Celedonio Olmos is the lieutenant's father, grandfather Pancho, is my grandfather. Boniface had to escape Montevideo. There he married a Uruguayan, an Eastern, as the grandfather, a girl named Encarnacion Flores, and there was born Scholastica. Look what a name. Before birth, Boniface joined the legion and never saw the girl, because the campaign lasted two years and hence of Humahuaca, went to Bolivia, where he spent several years, also spent time in Chile. In 52, early 52, after thirteen years of not seeing his wife, who lived here in the fifth, the commander Bonifacio Acevedo, who was in Chile, with other exiles, gave no more sorrow and came to Buenos Aires, disguised as a carrier was said that Rose was going to fall at any moment, that Urquiza would go through blood and fire in Buenos Aires. But he would not wait and took off. Someone reported it, sure, if not explained. He arrived in Buenos Aires and harvested Corn. Cut his throat and passed in front of house, knocked on the window and threw the head when they opened the room. Incarnation died Scholastic printing and went crazy. A few days went Urquiza in Buenos Aires! You have to keep in mind that Scholastic had grown up feeling about his father and watching his portrait.
In a dresser drawer pulled out a miniature color.
- When I was deputy cuirassiers, Brazil's campaign. His brilliant uniform, his youth, his grace, in contrast to the bearded figure smashed the old lithograph.
- The Corn was inflamed by the pronouncement of Urquiza. Do you know what he did scholasticism? The mother fainted, but she took over his father's head and ran up here. Here is locked with the head of the father from that year until his death in 1932.
- In 1932!
- Yes, in 1932. He lived eighty years here, locked in his head. Here we had to bring food and take out all rubbish. Never went out and did not want. Another thing: with that cunning with the insane, had hidden the head of his father, so that nobody could ever get. Sure, they could find to have done a search, but she'd be frantic and there was no way to cheat. "I have to get something from the dresser," he said. But there was no nothing to do. And nobody could ever get anything out of the dresser, or the cabinet, or the clip that. And until he died in 1932, everything was as it had been in 1852. You think so?
- seems impossible.
- is strictly historical. I also asked many times, how does it eat? How do they clean the room? Brought him food and managed to maintain a minimum of cleaning. Scholastic was crazy usually gentle and even spoke on almost everything, except about his father and over his head. During the eighty years that was never locked, for example, spoke of his father as if he had died. He spoke this, I mean, as if in 1852 and as if twelve years and as if his father was in Chile and was to come at any moment. It was a quiet old. But his life and even his language had been arrested in 1852 and as if Rose was still in power. "When the man fall," he said, pointing with his head out towards where he had electric trams and ruled Yrigoyen. It seems that his reality had large empty regions or perhaps also locked door, and gave shrewd as rodeos those of a child to avoid talking about these things, as if talking about them did not exist and therefore does not exist the death of his father. Abolished all that was attached to the slaughter of Bonifacio Acevedo.
- What happened to your head?
- Scholastica died in 1932 and were finally able to review the bureau and the clip of the commander. She was wrapped in cloth (it seems that the old woman took out every night and put it on cabinet and spent hours looking at or maybe sleeping with his head there, like a vase). Was mummified and dwarfed, of course. And it has remained.
- How?
- And of course, what do you want to head? What do you do with a head in this situation?
- Well, I dunno. This whole story is so absurd I do not know.
- tené And above all this what is my family, I mean the Olmos, not Acevedo.
- What is your family?
- you still need to ask? Do not you hear the guy playing the clarinet Bebe? Can not you see where we live? Tell me, you know name of someone in this country and live in barracks, between tenements and factories? Understand that his head could not get anything normal, apart from that nothing happens to a head without the body concerned may be normal (...)
