turris burris
  52

Galdosian expression, derived perhaps from the Latin drunken turris of the litany of the rosary of our childhood. After praying the rosary, crushing litanies were recited to dogmatize minds : Mater amábilis , -ora pro nobis; mater admirábilis , -ora pro nobis; . . . virgo fidelis, -ora pro nobis; . . eburgy turris, -ora pro nobis. . . In Galdós means confusion, chaotic and messy situation, mixing of heterogeneous things.
