From the rich archive of Carlos Edmundo de Ory we delve into his friendship with Francisco Nieva. They both met in 1948 in Madrid, when Nieva was a painter. Between 1948 and 1950 they lived a very intense friendship and even lived under the same roof, as Ory stayed at Pilar Nieva's house. Several poems by Ory and drawings by Nieva date from those years that portray their relationship, their evenings with Emilia Palomo, Carlos' girlfriend at the time, and the erotic fantasies, confidences, pranks and ceremonies shared by two imaginative and artistically ambitious young people who considered themselves "little brothers in the milk of Satan." The last literary fruit of that relationship could be Nieva's Lady Tártara (released in 1980), a farce and calamity feature written in 1970 whose protagonist Ary, according to an unpublished text by Nieva, was inspired by Ory, although Nieva never confessed this to his old friend.
