O tempora, o mores! Tarpeia saxum proper Capitolium!
As we used to say around the Hot Fountain in other times: Everything is off! The scarcity on Thursday for the opening, the bromide yesterday. So what happens to Dax, the victim of a malignant spell? It seems that the forces of darkness have combined to undermine all hopes born of an assembly that is nevertheless learned, serious and attractive. Thursday bulls quickly extinguished, yesterday bulls on the ground. Seven Bañuelos and a Virgen Maria to make a run that didn’t last. We will have to instruct a witchcraft trial to find out which demons have seized the city and its arena. Yet all well balanced Burgos horns, without challenge, and once again bulls who for at least six of them displayed on their entry into the arena some inclinations of charge and nobility. Alas and crash. Seven times the same sad copy. A procession of limping cornus, slumping like drunken penitents from a debauchery of lauds and prayers. Terrible disappointment with regard to the cartel and the ganaderia chosen. Morante passed. Empty. A weakling, a handicapped person, the “sobrero” who breaks his horn in two, the replacement who lies down. He was dressed in green, a “stabilo” green from the shirt to the hood, whimsical dress code and “morantista” for the scent of great fragrances. Alas!…A devil slapped God. Gines Marin tried, him, in the fifth, to extirpate something, to create on the vacuum. In vain. Only Pablo Aguado cut off an ear to the third Bañuelos, a pretty, well-pricked chestnut who displays a little load. The Sevillian ties quickly to the right and builds a smart and sweet faena. On the left, pass by pass, very carefully, with clever management of the toro grounds. But Dax, at the end of the tale, the diet! Pulmenti is uvam, the garbure has taken on water. And there weren’t enough people in the bays.
