Spanish: JORGE: Luisa, cuéntame cuál fue el tema que expuso el profesor mejicano en su última clase. LUISA: A ver, déjame pensar... trató acerca de la literatura del Siglo de Oro español. JORGE: Siglo de Oro español... ¡qué maravilloso! Es un tema que me apasiona, sobre todo la poesía de Quevedo. LUISA: Eso es un asunto de gustos personales. Entre los españoles, yo prefiero a Antonio Machado, por lo general a los modernistas. JORGE: ¿Por qué?¡Qué locura! No hay nada mejor que el Siglo de Oro español. Aparte de Quevedo, tienes a Lope, a Calderón, a Rojas, y ¡qué decir de Góngora! ¡Qué maravilla en la correspondencia del idioma y el concepto! Ni sabría decirte quién me gusta más. LUISA: Bueno, Jorgito, creo que deberíamos cambiar el curso: yo al tuyo, y tú al mío. Es que me cuesta, o sea, me aburro. Y tampoco es por el profe. Creo que soy yo la que no encaja en ese tiempo. No sé... Me pregunto: ¿qué tiene que ver conmigo un estilo tan rimbombante en una poesía escrita en un idioma que ni siquiera hablamos hoy? JORGE: Ya, Luchita, veo que no estás para más. LUISA: Oye, ¿de qué hablas? Acaso crees que todos tenemos que pensar como tú.... ¡pasado de moda! JORGE: No es cuestión de moda, es cuestión de intelecto. LUISA: Lo que digas, abuelo. JORGE: ¡Qué picona! LUISA: No me pico, viejo, pero te voy a decir por qué prefiero a los modernistas. JORGE: Bueno, lúcete. Te escucho, muñequita... LUISA: Para mí el poeta debe escribir para el pueblo al que pertence y hablar de sus propios temas, expresar conceptos no solo inteligentes sino intelegibles; en fin, que sus lectores lo reconozcan como un miembro igual a ellos, perteneciente al pueblo. JORGE: Oye, camarada, has leído demasiado Marx. LUISA: Y tú, sabiondo, ¿a qué modernista has leído? JORGE: A todos, muchacha, a todos. Para opinar tengo que saber de qué hablo. LUISA: A ver, dame aunque sea un nombre. JORGE: ¿Qué te parece para la próxima? Tengo una cita ahorita. LUISA: Jajaja.... Por supuesto.
