This phrase concludes the central argument of the 1906 article “Entenem-nos,” one of the most programmatic texts, within the strictly cultural sphere, written by Joan Maragall throughout his journalistic career. The initial stimulus stemmed from the public's reaction during a lecture by Jaume Brossa and a concert by Jaume Pahissa, which prompted him to reflect on the dialectic between national spirit and European (or global) art –since for Maragall they were almost synonymous– concluding with the consideration that "trying to bring the Catalan soul into Europe is very positive; but to imagine that in order to carry out this project we must deny the Catalan essence is very negative."
