Simón Rodríguez
The Venezuelan educator, writer, essayist and philosopher, Simón Narciso de Jesús
Carreño Rodríguez, also known in his exile from Spanish America as Samuel Robinson,
was born in Caracas on October 28, 1769. He was baptized on November 14, 1769 as a
foundling and raised in the house of the priest Alejandro Carreño, who gives him his
surname.
“Usted formó mi corazón para la libertad, para la justicia, para lo grande, para lo
hermoso. Yo he seguido el sendero que usted me señaló. Usted fue mi piloto,
aunque sentado sobre una de las playas de Europa. No puede usted figurarse
cuán hondamente se han grabado en mi corazón las lecciones que usted me
ha dado, no he podido jamás borrar siquiera una coma de las grandes
sentencias que usted me ha regalado” (Rumazo González, 2005).
"You formed my heart for freedom, for justice, for the great, for the beautiful. I
have followed the path you pointed out to me. You were my pilot, albeit sitting
on one of Europe's beaches. You cannot imagine how deeply the lessons you
have given me have been engraved in my heart, I have never been able to
erase even a comma from the great sentences that you have given me"
(Rumazo González, 2005).
