El mal del siglo
Jose Asuncion Silva 1865 (Bogotá) – 1896 (Bogotá)
Doctor, un desaliento de la vida
que en lo íntimo de mí se arraiga y nace,
el mal del siglo... el mismo mal de Werther,
de Rolla, de Manfredo y de Leopardi.
Un cansancio de todo, un absoluto
desprecio por lo humano... un incesante
renegar de lo vil de la existencia
digno de mi maestro Schopenhauer;
un malestar profundo que se aumenta
con todas las torturas del análisis...
EL MÉDICO:
-Eso es cuestión de régimen: camine
de mañanita; duerma largo; báñese;
beba bien; coma bien; cuídese mucho:
¡Lo que usted tiene es hambre...!
