"The sixth number of Caballo Verde was left on Viriato Street, the pages not yet collated and sewn. It was dedicated to Julio Herrera y Reissig--a second Lautréamont, produced by Montevideo--and the texts written in his honor by the poets of Spain were silenced in all their beauty, still-born, having nowhere to go. The magazine was to have come out on July 19, 1936. But on that day the streets were filled with shooting. In his African garrison an obscure general, Francisco Franco, had risen against the Republic." --Pablo Neruda, Memoirs (tr St Martin, 1977)
