Raúl Carballeira -------------------------------------------------------------------- People : ---------------------------------- Author : Federico Arcos Text : ---------------------------------- Since 1939, young anarchists in Spain have paid the price for resisting Francoism. Raúl Carballeira, a prominent figure in the anarchist underground, was one who paid the ultimate price when surrounded by police on Montjuich mountain in Barcelona. Raúl Carballeira (February 28, 1918 — June 26, 1948) Bursts of shrapnel mowed down your young body. But you still had a gasp of breath, a gasp of breath and a bullet; and your mind, like a rapid steed, galloping in the air, on a hot June afternoon, exploded under your own impact. I cry out and I cry out with vehemence; I cry out with vehemence, oh brother; for never did they succeed in enchaining The Idea nor gagging The Word. The word that expresses the soul of the ideas. We are a hammer of steel. We shall continue hammering. Each word, a blow; each blow, a spark; each phrase, a flame; and in fires of words, torches of The Idea illuminating the darkness, we shall proceed on the path with the dawns of truth.
