I was sharing a bath with Hildegart Rodriguez Carballeira<\/p>\n
She was the most intelligent girl in Spain<\/p>\n
We will be crossing the equator in three hours <\/i><\/p>\n
What shall we do?<\/i><\/p>\n
The usual I will chase you and the other crew members around the boat with shaving foam and we will fight with olive oil <\/i><\/p>\n
And after? <\/i><\/p>\n
We will all jump into the sea naked <\/i><\/p>\n
But what about the brandy? <\/i><\/p>\n
It is the only alcohol we have left on board <\/i><\/p>\n
And yes we will offer the sea a share of our brandy<\/i><\/p>\n
Do you know what I am going to do? <\/i><\/p>\n
Tell me <\/i><\/p>\n
I am going to press a flower in a book of philosophy<\/i><\/p>\n
A large thick book of philosophy<\/i><\/p>\n
Whose book will it be? <\/i><\/p>\n
I have many books of philosophy <\/i><\/p>\n
Choose one <\/i><\/p>\n
Very well <\/i><\/p>\n
I shall select V G Belinsky a great Russian thinker<\/i><\/p>\n
What flower will you press? <\/i><\/p>\n
I have not decided yet <\/i><\/p>\n
Choose the most beautiful flower that you can find <\/i><\/p>\n
Why? <\/i><\/p>\n
Because without beauty the world is nothing <\/i><\/p>\n
Then I shall choose the ugliest flower <\/i><\/p>\n
Why? <\/i><\/p>\n
Because flowers are the true revolutionaries<\/i><\/p>\n
