  1. The Old Age of The Eternal Priest
    The Old Age of The Eternal Priest
    translation of Guerra Junqueiro’s satirical poem A Velhice do Padre Eterno
    Alice Enamour

    Guerra Junqueiro played an extremely important role in Portugal’s cultural scene. He was labelled the “Portuguese Victor Hugo” (*) due to his importance and was considered by many to be the greatest Portuguese social poet of the 19th century. (excerpts of some poems) “In such a way, the pope imitated the simplicityOf the martyr of Calvary,That, for so much spending his assets on poverty,He became a millionaire.”… (SAINT PETER’S MONEY) “Because down here, the big guysNever lacked for anything either;They had beliefs and millions…God likes honorable people like that.”… (THE MASS GRAVE) “This God, Masella, is a plebeian and humble God,Whose signature does not give, at the Rotschild bankers,Any credit; a barefoot and proletarian God,”… (TO THE NUNCIO MASELLA) Some texts are astonishingly relevant today, which only proves that, at the level of intentions and socio-economic practices, in one hundred and forty years human society has not changed at all.
