Angel Ganivet, a man all divination and instinct, was more happily inspired, in my opinion, when he proclaimed that the Spanish philosophy was that of Seneca, the pagan Stoic of Cordoba, whom not a few Christians regarded as one of themselves, a philosophy lacking in originality of thought but speaking with great dignity of tone and accent.
Zuzenago ibili zen, ene irudiko, Angel Ganivet, igarmen eta instintu osoaz, gurea senekismoa zela pregonatu zuenean, kordobar estoiko pagano haren filosofia, pentsaeran originaltasunik gabea bai, baina azentuz eta tonuz ezin handiagoa, kristauen artean ez gutxik beretarikotzat eduki zutena.
