coexist, in pacifica harmony pines of Japan with pines of Mexico
and Jerusalem, Cedars of the Lebanon and the Himalayas, the tree
of the silver, the south of Africa, with the gold tree (Gingko
she-wolf) of Japan, the Creole willow and the poplar of Carolina,
the suberosa casuarina of India with the Thuya Gingantea of the
U.S.A., the indigenous Pindo, with cycas revolutas of Asia.
 We did not follow this
relation not to tire the reader. Let us say if, to give idea of
importance botanical of Forest Lussich, which according to
Ernesto Villegas Suarez, that outside their administrator, is so
many the species and within, so great I number there of
represented varieties, "that stops its serious Integra
classification necessary to dedicate many but years to the
investigation". That harmonic coexistence of you hoist of the
places and disimiles climates but, suggested franc-Uruguayan poet
Jules Supervielle to baptize to the forest like "the crossroads
of the antipodal ones".
The forest presents/displays, in addition the
particularitity to lodge plants and you hoist that they bloom at
different times from the year, assuring therefore permanent the
colorful one, even in winter. And their thousands of orquídeas,
offered an incredible spectacle. Agreeing with its friend, the
escultor Jose Luis Zorrilla of San Martín, for whom "a forest
without birds is as a flower without perfume", Lussich brought it
of all the corners of the world.
And so that the forest was not an impenetrable
forest, ways and footpaths became that crossed it in all the
directions. This wonderful forest of eight hundred hectares,
suggested to an illustrious visitor of Punta Ballena the
following phrase: "a famous North American poet wrote" the lost
Paradise ", Lussich found it.
 A fact significant to
remember: Lussich began the forest to the 50 years, when the life
index did not surpass the 55! It explains that when crossed it,
accompanied of his smaller son, Milton, it commented to this one:
"what today we are seeing, son mine, tomorrow will be a great
forest that your you will be able to enjoy... I not".
But the destiny arranged that the things
happened of another way...: In 1921 President Balthasar Brum knew
Milton in Punta Ballena and I am captivated with his affection.
For that reason, from return to Montevideo, to its request, I
authorize to give a return to him in a military airplane.
Unfortunately the apparatus key to earth (in the own "Arboretum")
and Milton passed away in the act. Hardly tapeworm veintiún
years. Tragic destiny.
Who could think that the forest created by
Lussich and that covered to him with glory, it would be also the
indirect simiente of his greater sadness: the death of its only
son man. Its great pain I am reflected in acrostic an exciting
one, written the 15 of June of 1921, whose first part says:
Wanted Milton, I dreamed that it saw you
and that you embraced to me with filial tenderness
Raising the bitterness fog
Terrible that as much afflicted to me
Impía forgets the pain the viciousness
Nourishing the faith to me of always verte
Cheer and arrogant, noble and strong
Swimming between youthful pleasures!
Everything was an illusion... febrile dreams...
Oh cruel destiny! That angry death!
The tenacity, the certainty, in a work of
these, is decisive. Thus it happened.
