Frases de Joan Maragall Gorina

Joan Maragall i Gorina foi um poeta e escritor catalão, figura capital dentro a poesia modernista da mudança de século XIX ao XX. A sua obra manuscrita conserva-se ao Arquivo Joan Maragall de Barcelona.Membro da intel·lectualitat culta da Barcelona da Renaixença, da qual tinha herdado o floralisme e o retoricisme, fez uma defesa da espontaneidade e da busca da simplicitat e chegou a desenvolver a sua «teoria da palavra viva», que criou escola. Fez da sua obra poética a vertente literária mais conhecida, se bem destaca a sua importante produção em prosa, com mais de 450 textos, entre artigos, julgamentos, discursos, semelhanças biográficos e prólogos. A sua actividade como jornalista ao Diari de Barcelona e La Veu de Catalunya foi um dos meios que lhe permitiu projectar uma opinião que gerou uma importante influência social. Assim mesmo, traduziu ao catalão obras de Goethe, Nietzsche e Novalis, introduzindo assim em Catalunha uma boa parte da literatura alemã.

Na vertente pessoal, Joan Maragall foi um homem de raízes religiosas e um forte envolvimento político. Entre o «adeus, Espanha!», formulado ao Oda em Espanha, e o iberisme, a sua influência sempre foi vigente em Catalunha de forma mais ou menos visível. Foi uma personagem com múltiplos contactos, com os quais mantinha uma extensa correspondência de um interesse que supera de muito o fato puramente anecdòtic ou biogràfic.

Um dos seus netos, Pasqual Maragall i Mira, foi presidente da Generalidade da Catalunha entre 2003 e 2006. Wikipedia

Joan Maragall Gorina: Frases em inglês

“Think deeply about this: what are you going to ask of Christ when you are in his Church? You come stepping in softly, seeking quiet under her vaulted roofs (unless, of course, you come out of mere vanity) in order to forget your problems and preoccupations [-] languidly immersing yourself in the majesty of the sacred chorales and in the aromatic clouds of incense: and then to sleep[-] But this is not the peace of Christ. My peace I give you, my peace I leave you. He said My, which is not the peace of this world. But you want to establish the Church in the peace of the world, and that is why the others, when they come, cannot enter without war cries rising from their overwrought lungs. They rebel, filling the temple with blashemous roars, they eject the terrified faithful, who had been half asleep, they insult or kill the ministers at the altar, knock over the altar itself, smash the stone saints, burn the church [-] so it is that she once again becomes, for them, the church of the Christ that died on the cross. [-] This time, do not leave her rebuilding to others. Do not wish to put up sturdier walls for these will not give her a better defense [-] Nor should you ask the rich to contribute too much money for the reconstruction, lest the poor, should receive the benefice with mistrust. Let it be the poor who rebuild her, for then they will do so according to their fashion and only in this way will they love her.”

Joan Maragall

“I had never heard a Mass like that one.. the church vault was split open, the walls were rasped and peeling, the altars were wrecked or had been thrown out; worst of all, that great dark hole at the end, where the high altar had been, the paving hidden beneath the powder and rubble, no pews to sit on, everyone standing or kneeling before a wooden table with a crucifix placed on it, a sunbeam shining sharply down through a gap in the vault and a cloud of flies dancing in the harsh light that illuminated the whole Church and made it seem as though we were hearing Mass in the middle of the street. [-] I had never heard a Mass like that one [-] The bread and the Wine appeared as though they were fresh: the Host appeared to be beating and, in the sunlight, when the Wine was poured into the chalice, it appeared to be blood that was flowing [-] and then the thought, the sentiment occurred to me that Mass should always be heard in this way, in fear and trembling”

“Come in, enter, the door is wide open! It is you yourselves who have opened it with the fire and iron of your hatred:[-] By destroying this church, you have restored the Church, the Church that was founded for you, the poor, the oppressed, the desperate…it is you, with your poverty, your rebellion and your despair, who have rammed down the door, it is you who have breached her stout and solid walls, and you who have re-conquered her. Fire has built, blasphemy has purified, hatred of Christ has returned Christ to his house”
