世纪文学经典:《百年孤独》第9章Part 8  

During the following days he busied himself destroying all trace of his passage through the world. He stripped the silver shop until all that were left were impersonal objects
he gave his clothes away to the orderlies
and he buried his weapons in the courtyard with the same feeling of penance with which his father had buried the spear that had killed Prudencio Aguilar. He kept only one Pistol with one bullet in it. úrsula did not intervene. The only time she dissuaded him was when he was about to destroy the daguerreotype of Remedios that was kept in the parlor lighted by an eternal lamp. "That picture stopped belonging to you a long time ago
" she told him. "It's a family relic." On the eve of the armistice
when no single object that would let him be remembered was left in the house
he took the trunk of poetry to the bakery when Santa Sofía de la Piedad was making ready to light the oven.
"Light it with this
" he told her
handing her the first roll of yellowish papers. "It will
burn better because they're very old things."
Santa Sofía de la Piedad
the silent one
the condescending one
the one who never contradicted anyone
not even her own children
had the impression that it was a forbidden act.
"They're important papers
" she said.
"Nothing of the sort
" the colonel said. "They're things that a person writes to himself."
"In that case
" she said
"you burn them
colonel."
He not only did that
but he broke up the trunk with a hatchet and threw the pieces into the fire. Hours before
Pilar Ternera had e to visit him. After so many years of not seeing her
Colonel Aureli-ano Buendía was startled at how old and fat she had bee and how much she had lost of the splendor of her laugh
but he was also startled at the depths she had reached in her reading of the cards. "Watch out for your mouth
" she told him
and he wondered whether the other time she had told him that during the height of his glory it had not been a surprisingly anticipated vision of his fate. A short time later
when his personal physician finished removing his sores
he asked him
without showing any particular interest
where the exact location of his heart was. The doctor listened with his stethoscope and then painted a circle on his cheat with a piece of cotton dipped in iodine.
