you will divide the imaginary scene into two parts: or better put: into two opposed blocs of words: on the one hand nouns, adjectives, verbs that denote whiteness, clarity, virtue; on the other hand, a lexicon of shadows, blackness, sin: dressed in a suit and a panama hat identical to those of the great-grandfather, the Master of the Sugar Plantation on High swings back and forth in the hammock, sharpens his splendid Collins machete, and smokes a Havana cigar behind the gauze curtain of his mosquito netting: the White Virgin attends to the minor but essential tasks in the Manor House, aware of her superiority but making no ostentatious outward display of it, with only a spotless white frock and dainty furbelows bedecking her svelte figure, with its pale skin and blond hair: little winged mulatto servant boys gracefully chase away the flies from the Mistress with sumptuous fans Marita, my girl, don’t you hear me? yes, Papa
dividirás la imaginaria escena en dos partes: dicho mejor: en dos bloques opuestos de palabras: a un lado substantivos, adjetivos, verbos que denotan blancor, claridad, virtud: al otro, un léxico de tinieblas, negrura, pecado: el Amo del Ingenio de Arriba se columpia en la hamaca con traje y panamá idénticos a los del bisabuelo, afila su espléndido machete Collins y fuma un cigarro habano tras el lienzo de gasa de su mosquitero: la Virgen Blanca atiende a las tareas menudas pero esenciales de la Casa Solariega, consciente de un señorío que va en lo interno más que en el externo, con galas y vestidos candorosos sobre su esbeltez rubia y pálida: criollitos alados alejan graciosamente a las moscas con suntuosos flabelos Marita, hija, no me oyes? sí, Papá
