visit their gardens.

a sad abandonment and complete neglect;

fragments of statues strewn walks, and trees leafless

, desenramados ...

When you have seen the young (even the educated)

break lights and the wiring and hardware

a typical balcony over the river,

and girls (even the distinguished)

enter the fields to plunder ...

When you have seen all this,

can well exclaim with a heavy heart:

this town has no feeling, no art or love,

no culture!
