As a young man, I was so dazzled by everything around me that I was incapable of imagining an end to the magnificence of the court, to our ownership of the globe, to the empire which—if one included the rich Portuguese inheritance that we shared at the time—comprised not only the Indies in the West, Brazil, Flanders, Italy, but also our possessions in Africa, the Philippines, and other enclaves in the remote Indies of the East. I could not conceive that one day this would all collapse when the men of iron were succeeded by men of clay incapable of sustaining such a vast enterprise with only their ambition, talent, and swords. For although Spain—forged out of glory and cruelty, out of light and dark—was already beginning to decline, the Spanish empire of my youth was still a mighty thing.
A mis años, deslumbrado por cuanto me rodeaba, no podía imaginar que aquello, la magnificencia de la Corte, el enseñoramiento del orbe en que nos hallábamos los españoles, el imperio que —unido a la rica herencia portuguesa que entonces compartíamos— llegaba hasta las Indias occidentales, el Brasil, Flandes, Italia, las posesiones de África, las islas Filipinas y otros enclaves de las lejanas Indias orientales, todo terminaría desmoronándose cuando los hombres de hierro cedieron plaza a hombres de barro, incapaces de sostener con su ambición, su talento y sus espadas tan vasta empresa. Que así de grande era en mi mocedad, aunque ya empezara a dejar de serlo, aquella España forjada de gloria y crueldad, de luces y sombras.
