In El gaucho Martín Fierro (1872), the composition into octosyllabic verses, due to its word saving materializes the State dispossession through language reduction; concision appears isolated in La vuelta de Martín Fierro (1879), where the moral emphasis wastes proverbial verses, insisting on civilizing virtues (prudence, obedience, industriousness) and barbaric vices (laziness, crime, inhumanity of the native people). The exemplary effort, the repetitive voices of the sons and the abjection of the indigenous tribes generate a disturbing disproportion that, despite the effect of bookish unity of the Vuelta (the Return), contradicts the strophic economy celebrated by Borges, Leumann, Martínez Estrada. The didacticism of the converted gaucho says less in spite of talking more: it conceals the violence of liberal democracy, blurred by the aesthetic moralism of the book and its readings. La economía textual del Martín Fierro expone contradicciones del progreso, invisibilizadas por la conversión de dos folletos en libro (nacional). En El gaucho Martín Fierro (1872), la sugestión del octosílabo por su ahorro de palabras materializa con fuerza el despojo estatal en el menoscabo de la lengua; la concisión asoma aisladamente en La vuelta de Martín Fierro (1879), donde el énfasis moral derrocha versos proverbiales, insistentes en virtudes civilizatorias (prudencia, obediencia, laboriosidad) y vicios de barbarie (haraganería, delincuencia, inhumanidad del indio). El afán aleccionador, las voces repetitivas de los hijos y la abyección de la indiada generan una desproporción inquietante que, pese al efecto de unidad libresca de la Vuelta, contradice la economía estrófica celebrada por Borges, Leumann, Martínez Estrada. El didactismo del gaucho converso dice menos en su decir de más: encubre violencias de la democracia liberal, desdibujadas por el moralismo estético del libro y sus lecturas.
