LA EDAD HEROICA THE HEROIC AGE While the Greeks praised the earring of war, the youthful age, Orlando Vicente believed that the only time of life that deserved to be lived was adolescence-youth. He told me many times. It was the decade of the 70s that he remembered, despite the Castro dictatorship. He was excited by the fashionable dance and the radio of the Guantanamo base and the singing in English. I think that above all he was burningly nostalgic for the discovery of love and beauty and his gifted intelligence in teaching, where he obtained "the best file" without especially seeking it.

Mientras los griegos elogiaban la arete' de la guerra,la edad juvenil,Orlando Vicente creia que la unica epoca de la vida que merecia vivirse era la adolescencia-juventud.
Me lo decia muchas veces.
Era la decada del 70 que rememoraba,pese a la dictadura castrista.
Le daba ilusion el baile de moda y la radio de la base de Guantanamo y el cantar en ingles.
Pienso que sobre todo le daba nostalgia ardiente el descubrimiento del amor y la belleza y su inteligencia superdotada en la enseñanza,donde obtenia "el mejor expediente "sin buscarlo especialmente.
