De pocos artistas, se me ocurre, se puede pensar en la ausencia de detractores ante la obra y antes pocas obras, se puede plantear uno con indiferencia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">La leyenda dice que Leonard Cohen fue \u201cnombrado\u201d poeta por su amigo Louis Doudek, profesor en la Universidad de McGill, en Quebec (Canad\u00e1), en 1954, cuando contaba con veinte a\u00f1os. Los dos hombres caminaban por uno de los pasillos de la Facultad de Artes cuando el profesor oblig\u00f3 a Cohen que se arrodillara y con el manuscrito de uno de sus poemas lo \u201carm\u00f3 poeta\u201d. Esa designaci\u00f3n de corte medieval, anacr\u00f3nica en el siglo de la electricidad y del ritmo, se ajusta a la perfecci\u00f3n al propio trabajo de Leonard Cohen con la poes\u00eda, donde el verbo, la palabra en su expresi\u00f3n elemental y callada, se convierte en una suerte de grial a perseguir por siempre.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">R\u00edos de tinta \u2013real y virtual\u2013 corren por estas horas aciagas para horadar el secreto de su magn\u00edfico cancionero (desde \u2018Suzanne\u2019 a \u2018You Want It Darker\u2019; desde \u2018Bird on the Wire\u2019 a \u2018Traveling Light\u2019), para glosar su admiraci\u00f3n por el no menos genial Federico Garc\u00eda Lorca o para perseguir las gemas incluidas en la impresionante continuidad de conciertos de los \u00faltimos a\u00f1os (a la que se larg\u00f3 luego de que su ex manager lo estafara, dej\u00e1ndolo pr\u00e1cticamente en la ruina). Ante esa catarata de reacciones, todas v\u00e1lidas, todas necesarias, todas in\u00fatiles ante el eco perdido que nos devuelve el paso de las horas, encontraremos siempre, inalterable, la mism\u00edsima obra de Leonard Cohen, el legado de este inmenso hombre peque\u00f1o, que hall\u00f3 en su arte la forma m\u00e1s elevada de trascender la brevedad de la existencia, el paso ef\u00edmero por el mundo. \u00c9l mismo lo dijo alguna vez: \u201cEncontr\u00e9 el coraje para escribir mis propias oraciones, dedicarme a la fuente de la misericordia. Descubr\u00ed que el acto de escribir era la forma apropiada de mi oraci\u00f3n. Somos una \u00e9poca extravagante. Nadie quiere afirmar esas realidades.
