Cr\u00edtico y polemista, figura constante en las tertulias sociales y literarias, fue amigo de escritores como Jos\u00e9 Cadalso y Nicol\u00e1s Fernandez de Morat\u00edn. En sus \u201cF\u00e1bulas literarias\u201d, publicadas en 1782, recogi\u00f3 una serie de poemas sat\u00edricos, algunos como burla a la sociedad de su tiempo, y todos con una did\u00e1ctica moraleja final.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Y sin m\u00e1s introducci\u00f3n, os dejo con la mencionada fabulilla del burro flautista. \u00bfPens\u00e1is que las cosas ocurren\u2026 por casualidad? Lo que s\u00ed es cierto es que mi madre me tomaba el pelo.<\/p>\n<p><strong>EL BURRO FLAUTISTA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Esta fabulilla,<br \/>\nsalga bien o mal,<br \/>\nme ha ocurrido ahora<br \/>\npor casualidad.<\/p>\n<p>Cerca de unos prados<br \/>\nque hay en mi lugar,<br \/>\npasaba un borrico<br \/>\npor casualidad.<\/p>\n<p>Una flauta en ellos<br \/>\nhall\u00f3, que un zagal<br \/>\nse dej\u00f3 olvidada<br \/>\npor casualidad.<\/p>\n<p>Acerc\u00f3se a olerla<br \/>\nel dicho animal,<br \/>\ny dio un resoplido<br \/>\npor casualidad.<\/p>\n<p>En la flauta el aire<br \/>\nse hubo de colar,<br \/>\ny son\u00f3 la flauta<br \/>\npor casualidad.<\/p>\n<p>\u00abiOh!\u00bb, dijo el borrico,<br \/>\n\u00ab\u00a1qu\u00e9 bien s\u00e9 tocar!<br \/>\n\u00a1y dir\u00e1n que es mala<br \/>\nla m\u00fasica asnal!\u00bb<\/p>\n<p>Sin regla del arte,<br \/>\nborriquitos hay<br \/>\nque una vez aciertan<br \/>\npor casualidad.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"El burro flautista 2A\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LKX74EjIJGU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Since I was a child, whenever I got a task done in an unexpected way, I always received the same slightly ironic response from my mother: &#8220;It must have happened as the donkey played the flute.&#8221;\u00a0 Not knowing whether she was saying it as praise, or sarcastically, it drove me to investigate which donkey she was talking about.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">This is how I got to know Tomas de Iriarte&#8217;s fables. This Spanish writer born in the middle of the 18th century was one of the most famous fabulists of the moment. Critic and debater, he was a constant figure in the social and literary gatherings, and friend of writers such as Jose Cadalso and Nicolas Fernandez de Moratin. In his &#8220;Literary fables &#8220;, published in 1782, he gathered a series of satirical poems, some of them as derision to society, and all of them with a didactic final moral.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">And with no further introductions, I\u2019ll leave you with the mentioned fable about the flute-playing donkey. Do you think that things happen\u2026 accidentally? What is really true is that my mum was making fun of me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Ass and the Flute<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This little fable heard,<br \/>\nIt good or ill may be;<br \/>\nBut it has just occurred<br \/>\nThus accidentally.<\/p>\n<p>Passing my abode,<br \/>\nSome fields adjoining me<br \/>\nA big ass on his road<br \/>\nCame accidentally.<\/p>\n<p>And laid upon the spot,<br \/>\nA Flute he chanced to see,<br \/>\nSome shepherd had forgot<br \/>\nThere accidentally.<\/p>\n<p>The animal in front<br \/>\nTo scan it nigh came he,<br \/>\nAnd snuffing loud as wont,<br \/>\nBlew accidentally.<\/p>\n<p>The air it chanced around<br \/>\nThe pipe went passing free<br \/>\nAnd thus the Flute a sound<br \/>\nGave accidentally.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cO then,\u201d exclaimed the Ass,<br \/>\n\u201cI know to play it fine;<br \/>\nAnd who for bad shall class<br \/>\nThis music asinine?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Without the rules of art,<br \/>\nEven asses, we agree,<br \/>\nMay once succeed in part,<br \/>\nThus accidentally.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2014James Kennedy (translator)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Desde peque\u00f1a, cuando consegu\u00eda realizar alguna tarea de forma inesperada, siempre recib\u00eda la misma respuesta algo ir\u00f3nica de mi madre: \u201cTe habr\u00e1 salido por lo que el burro toc\u00f3 la flauta.\u201d El no saber si lo dec\u00eda como halago, o con sorna, me llev\u00f3 a investigar de qu\u00e9 burro se trataba.
