The Social Cancer: A Complete English Version of Noli Me Tangere — Page 5
The tactics employed in the conquest and the subsequent behavior of the conquerors were true to the old Spanish nature, so succinctly characterized by a plain-spoken Englishman of Mary's reign, when the war-cry of Castile encircled the globe and even hovered ominously near the "sceptered isle," when in the intoxication of power character stands out so sharply defined: "They be verye wyse and politicke, and can, thorowe ther wysdome, reform and brydell theyr owne natures for a tyme, and applye ther conditions to the manners of those men with whom they meddell gladlye by friendshippe; whose mischievous maners a man shall never know untyll he come under ther subjection; but then shall he parfectlye parceve and fele them: for in dissimulations untyll they have ther purposes, and afterwards in oppression and tyrannye, when they can obtain them, they do exceed all other nations upon the earthe." [1]
정복에 사용된 전술과 정복자들의 이후 행동은 오래된 스페인적 본성에 충실한 것이었으며, 이는 메리 여왕 치세의 직설적인 한 영국인에 의해 매우 간결하게 묘사된 바 있다. 카스티야의 함성이 지구를 둘러싸고 심지어 '왕홀의 섬' 가까이에도 불길하게 맴돌던 시절, 권력의 도취 속에서 인간의 본성이 이토록 선명하게 드러날 때 그는 이렇게 말했다: "그들은 매우 지혜롭고 정치적이며, 그 지혜를 통해 한동안 자신들의 본성을 개혁하고 억제할 수 있으며, 기꺼이 우정으로 교류하는 자들의 방식에 자신들의 태도를 맞출 수 있다. 그들의 해악스러운 방식은 그 지배 아래 놓이기 전까지는 결코 알 수 없으나, 그때가 되면 완전히 깨닫고 느끼게 될 것이다. 왜냐하면 목적을 이루기까지는 위장에 있어서, 그리고 목적을 이룬 후에는 억압과 폭정에 있어서, 그들은 지상의 모든 다른 민족을 능가하기 때문이다." [1]
In the working out of this spirit, with all the indomitable courage and fanatical ardor derived from the long contests with the Moors, they reduced the native peoples to submission, but still not to the galling yoke which they fastened upon the aborigines of America, to make one Las Casas shine amid the horde of Pizarros.
이러한 정신의 발현 속에서, 무어인들과의 오랜 싸움에서 비롯된 불굴의 용기와 광적인 열정을 바탕으로, 그들은 원주민들을 굴복시켰다. 그러나 그것은 아메리카 원주민들에게 채웠던 굴욕적인 멍에만큼은 아니었으니, 그 멍에는 수많은 피사로들 무리 속에서 단 한 명의 라스 카사스를 빛나게 했다.
