Poesía de Navidad: «Bethlem», de Manuel Machado

Poesía de Navidad: «Bethlem», de Manuel Machado

De Manuel Machado (Sevilla, 1874-Madrid, 1947) ya ha parecido en este blog un conocido poema navideño suyo, «El Niño divino (villancico de Navidad)». Hoy copiaré su soneto «Bethlem», construido como un apóstrofe al «Señor» (v. 1), del que se pondera su eterna bondad, su amor sin condiciones al sujeto lírico a pesar de la maldad (v. 12) y las ofensas por este cometidas (vv. 1, 12 y 14).

bethlem; Thing of Fervent Wishing

bethlems are creatures of despair. They’re incapable of positive feelings, and they’re not aware of that fact about themselves. They latch onto joyful ones, extract their joy of living through their pores, make it into a bright silk that’s useless to them, but can be gathered and woven into a fabric that naturally radiates warmth. If left to the bethlem’s devices for too long, the victim will eventually be encased in silk and transform into a bethlem themself. 

It is not known how bethlems die. The most well recognized theory is that once they grow numb to their own existence, they simply fall apart and disintegrate.

[In the late 17th-early 18th century] To be admitted [to Bedlam] you had to demonstrate -- or your family or your friends, whoever was presenting you to the institution -- had to demonstrate you were poor and you were mad. And most of the patients who were admitted to Bethlem would have been poor... It was a charity and it was [reliant] on benefactions and donations. ... The 17th and perhaps even more so the 18th century is the period of wrongful confinement, while there's a huge furori about the wrongful admittance of patients into asylums. And by this time you also have a private asylum trade which has grown up, and in fact that is where the association with wrongful confinement is perhaps the strongest. ... And in Bethlem as well you find also the better class of patient in smaller numbers, but probably by the 17th and 18th century the private asylum is where these patients would end up.
