\"\"<\/p>\n

Where I come from, sweating was something a young lady did not do much less display. \u00a0Sweat rings under your arms were cause for intense shame and elicited something akin to disgust when seen in others. Sweat was something reserved for workers or athletes, in any other context it was gauche. It took me years to get accustomed to the fact that you can no longer use deodorant after they have removed your lymph nodes in your armpits during cancer surgery. What do you call then that feeling of doing something wrong<\/em> when – really – it is \u00a0just declared right or wrong by decree of a certain class?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

How empowering to come across the poem below by a Spanish poet who died way too young, but who had his politics right – or left, as the case may be. As a communist he fought for the Republic during the Spanish Civil war, addressing the troops with his poetry (and the rest of us, now, with the merger of sweat and solidarity). He was caught after the Republic’s surrender and sentenced to death, a sentence commuted to 30 years in prison, where he was tortured and miserably died of tuberculosis.<\/p>\n

Sweat<\/strong><\/p>\n

Water drinks its paradise in the sea,
\nand sweat finds horizon, uproar, crest.
\nSweat is a brimming salty tree,
\na greedy surf.<\/p>\n

To offer the land its trembling cup
\nsweat reaches from earth’s farthest age,
\nfeeds thirst and salt drop by drop,
\nto kindle life.<\/p>\n

Sun’s cousin, tear’s brother, motion’s child,
\nApril to October, winter to summer,
\nit goes rolling through the field
\nin golden vines.<\/p>\n

As peasants pass through dawn
\nbehind the plough that uproots their sleep,
\nthey each wear a silent workshirt brown
\nwith mute sweat.<\/p>\n

The workers’ golden robe,
\njewel of the hands and eyes as well,
\nthrough the haze the axilla’s shower
\nspreads a fecund smell.<\/p>\n

The land’s flavour grows ripe and rich:
\nflakes that hardworking, pungent weeping yields,
\nmanna of the men and fields,
\nmy forehead’s drink.<\/p>\n

You who never feel stiff or sweat,
\nat leisure with no arms, music, pores,
\nwill never feel the open pores’ wet
\nhalo, or the power of the bulls.<\/p>\n

You will live stinking, die snuffed out:
\nfiery beauty takes up life in the heels
\nof bodies whose working limbs shift about
\nlike constellations.<\/p>\n

Comrades, surrender your foreheads to work:
\nsweat, with its sword of tasty crystal,
\nwith its sticky flood, makes you transparent,
\nlucky, equal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
