The Stone Age in Cuba (1959-?)


"Wherever man is born abandoned and left to fend for himself, with no knowledge of what came before him, there the Stone Age shall begin again." — José Martí

"En dondequiera que el hombre nazca abandonado a sí mismo y sin conocimiento de lo que le ha precedido, comenzará otra vez la edad de piedra". (Obras Completas, 22:306).

Prophetic, ah but we know he was.

Martí's works are teeming with such prophecies. Nostradamus is an amateur compared to him. Perhaps some day I will compile a list. His hopeful prophecies never came to pass; but, oh!, was he ever a wiz at predicting calamity!

I know you are ready for Martí's calamitous predictions. But is the world?

Hahaha! The world will never be ready.
