Thinking about Txomin Peill

  •    
Zaldi Ero

I made Txomin's knowledge at the end of July 1957 in Hazparn, in a one-week course that the Basque student association organized like every year. He had in his hands Txillardegi's first book, Leturia's hidden newspaper novel. As a young man in Hegoalde he was a lot, especially in Gipuzkoa, making good friends, especially Jon Etxaide of San Sebastian, who liked to walk on the board of Urdatx-Santa Grazi.

Txomin has written more in Guipuzkoan than in Suletino, while Jon Mirande wrote in labortano the other Basque Parisian. At this opening we have the ancestors of the Euskara batua, with the bilbaíno Gabriel Aresti. The three were friends in the Basque and literature, but not in politics: Mirande was black with ideology, red Aresti and free Txomin.

In 1964 he married Marie-Thérèse Olivier, Normandy of the small region of Perche. They have no children, but they have lived two generations in a good union. Alta Txomin was an atheist he didn't hide. On the contrary, his wife is a son-in-law Catholic. But they both form a solid partner, perfectly fulfilling the "harmony of the opposites" proposed by Emira Abdelkader.

Last word with the widow Marie-Thérèse. From here came the one of Margarita Perch in 1134, who brought black eagle to Navarra, married to King Monzón Gartzia Ramírez Berezarlea. Which bird has Marie-Thérès brought to Txomin, if he is a sheep’s companion, or the dove of peace? Or both at once? Txomin knows that.
