Brindis: 1884 Speech in Honor of Lunaand Hidalgo

"The patriarchal era of Filipinas is passing. Theillustrious achievements of her children are nolonger consummated within the home. The

Oriental chrysalis is leaving the cocoon. Thetomorrow of a long day is announced for thoseregions in brilliant tints and rosy dawns, andthat race - lethargic during the historical night

while the sun lit up other continents - awakensagain, powerfully moved by the electric shockproduced in it by contact with the Westernpeoples, and it clamors for light, life, thecivilization that time once gave as its legacy,confirming in this way the eternal laws of

To you Filipinas owes thebeauty of the diamonds that

Rizal Describes the Two Paintings

The Spoliarium, through thatcanvas which is not mute, one hearsthe noise of the crowd, the shouts ofthe slaves, the metallic clanking of

the dead bodies' armor, the sobbingof orphans, the murmured prayers,with as much vigor and realism asone hears the deafening noise of

thunder amid the crashing sound ofa waterfall or the awesome,

terrifying shaking of an earthquake.The same nature that births such

phenomena also intervenes in thosebrushstrokes

Rizal Describes the Two Paintings

Hidalgo's painting beats thepurest sentiment,3 the idealexpression of mournfulness,

beauty and vulnerability, thevictims of brute force, and itis because Hidalgo was bornbeneath the brilliant azure of

that sky, the lullaby of its seabreezes, amid the serenity of

its lakes, the poetry of itsvalleys and the majestic

harmony of its hills and

Rizal Comments on FriarDomination

in the Philippines

"If the mother teaches her child herlanguage in order to understand his joys,his needs or pains, Spain as a mother also

teaches her language to Filipinas, despitethe opposition of those short-sightedmidgets who secure their position,

INCAPABLE OF LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE

and not weighing the consequences. Sicklywetnurses, corrupted and corrupting, whotend to snuff out all legitimate feeling and

pervert the hearts of nations, sowing in

them the seeds of discords such that later

Philippines or Spain?

"Luna and Hidalgo belong as much to you asto us. You love them and we see in themgenerous aspirations, precious examples.

The Filipino youth of Europe, alwaysenthusiastic, and some other persons whosehearts remain youthful because of thedisinterestedness and enthusiasm that mark

their actions, offer a crown to Luna, amodest gift, small, yes, compared to ourfervor, but it is the most spontaneously andfreely offered gift of all the ones presenteduntil now.

TWO RACES who love and carefor each other, UNITED morally,

centuries, SO THAT IN FUTURE

THEY MAY FORM ONE SOLENATION IN SPIRIT, in their duties,

their perspectives, their

Retana: Madrid Speechcalled for Equality

In truth, it was impossible to ask for more grace of bearingand bravery: RIZAL speaks in the name of Filipinas, not with

the submission that was demanded of that country'schildren by the Spaniards, but as an ally who is such out of

personal choice:we are TWO PEOPLES; we are TWO RACES;we are as much men as you and for this very reason wewant what you want. Are we denied what we believe wedeserve? Look to the future! The circumstances of the

present cannot be eternal! No Filipino, and even less in the

presence of prestigious Spaniards, had ever dared to sayanything like it. RIZAL wanted the union of Spain and thePhilippines to be preserved; but he demanded, for thatunion to prevail, that the Filipinos should have identicalrights as the Spanish. He considered that to live without

them diminished the dignity of his race, and he refused to
