554 Corrida May 13 - Madrid with his pride & intelligence against brute force. The beauty & purity of the stylized formality of line which the Torero takes. One false move as he whirls his cape & turns his back may mean his own death as well. The pride & arrogance of the Torero after he has planted the sword & waits for the bull to fall. The angry boos of the enraged spectators when the formal rules are not obeyed - as when the picador ground his pole into the bull instead of a direct thrust. (The pain for the bull, in this case, is too intense) The applause of the spectators for the dead bull & for his courageous battle as he is dragged off the field by the horses. The anger of the crowd when a bull was too small & displeased them. A mounting roar of their pleasure, with cries of 'fuera' - till the President was moved to put out his green kerchief as signal for the removal of the bull & a change. The interesting technique of 555 May 13 Madrid. Corrida getting the bull off the field. Several females cows with bells on their necks are led onto the field & when they are directed back to their pen, the bull follows them meekly. I shuddered at the dangerous [[strikethrough]] moves [[/strikethrough]] positions taken by the Toreros & felt like shouting with the crowd - Cuidado! And wept for the bulls as well.
