			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just <a href="http://whatever.scalzi.com/2009/06/08/metatropolis-starred-publishers-weekly-review/" title="more scifi for me!">reading</a> in Scalzi&#8217;s blog about <a href="http://www.subterraneanpress.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&#038;Product_Code=scalzi09&#038;Category_Code=PRE&#038;Product_Count=21" title="metatropolis">Metatropolis</a>  (and that is his code), and will be getting that soon.</p>
<p>Part of the enthusiasm about that is the curiosity about cities and the directions that scifi puts on them. I have read about those extremes such as floating cities, about cylinders connected though hyperportals, about location adn extreme architectures, but waht about the interactions on the cities?</p>
<p>The best I have read so far yet is Mieville&#8217;s The City, with its artificial duality cemented through cultural enforcers, its own thought police. A city is interaction, or lack of. What else would come next? </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mario Benedetti, extremely important poet, one that railed against torture and exile and sang about love and freedom, died.</p>
<p>What to say? That words were powerful, and poets our conscience, and a happy future a possibility.</p>
<p>People are <a href="http://bibliotecafontanarrosa.blogspot.com/2009/05/mario-benedetti-ud-preguntara-porque.html" title="sepreguntara por que lloramos">sad</a>, <a href="http://consenosyconsesos.blogspot.com/2009/05/adios-benedetti.html" title="se fue benedetti">nostalgic</a> and they write <a href="http://www.cbc.ca/arts/books/story/2009/05/18/benedetti-obit-uruguay.html" title="poet dies, we all suffer">articles</a> that leave oh so much missing.</p>
<p>Remember  &#8220;Hombre preso que mira a su hijo&#8221; (<a href="www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVsmIIkTcF8" title="hombre preso que mira a su hijo">video</a>, or the <a href="http://www.patriagrande.net/uruguay/mario.benedetti/poemas/hombre.preso.que.mira.a.su.hijo.htm" title="Hombre preso que mira a su hijo">poem</a>) </p>
<blockquote><p>uno no siempre hace lo que quiere<br />
pero tiene el derecho de no hacer<br />
lo que no quiere</p>
<p>llorá nomás botija<br />
son macanas<br />
que los hombres no lloran<br />
aquí lloramos todos</p>
<p>gritamos berreamos moqueamos chillamos<br />
maldecimos<br />
porque es mejor llorar que traicionar<br />
porque es mejor llorar que traicionarse</p>
<p>llorá<br />
        pero no olvides</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.online-literature.com/shakespeare/merchant/14/" title="The merchant of Venice">The merchant of Venice, Act 3, Scene II</a>:<br />
<blockquote>So may the outward shows be least themselves:<br />
The world is still deceived with ornament.<br />
In law, what plea so tainted and corrupt,<br />
But, being seasoned with a gracious voice,<br />
Obscures the show of evil? In religion,<br />
What damned error, but some sober brow<br />
Will bless it and approve it with a text,<br />
Hiding the grossness with fair ornament?<br />
There is no vice so simple but assumes<br />
Some mark of virtue on his outward parts:<br />
How many cowards, whose hearts are all as false<br />
As stairs of sand, wear yet upon their chins<br />
The beards of Hercules and frowning Mars;<br />
Who, inward search&#8217;d, have livers white as milk;<br />
And these assume but valour&#8217;s excrement<br />
To render them redoubted! Look on beauty,<br />
And you shall see &#8217;tis purchased by the weight;<br />
Which therein works a miracle in nature,<br />
Making them lightest that wear most of it:<br />
So are those crisped snaky golden locks<br />
Which make such wanton gambols with the wind,<br />
Upon supposed fairness, often known<br />
To be the dowry of a second head,<br />
The skull that bred them in the sepulchre.<br />
Thus ornament is but the guiled shore<br />
To a most dangerous sea; the beauteous scarf<br />
Veiling an Indian beauty; in a word,<br />
The seeming truth which cunning times put on<br />
To entrap the wisest. Therefore, thou gaudy gold,<br />
Hard food for Midas, I will none of thee;<br />
Nor none of thee, thou pale and common drudge<br />
&#8216;Tween man and man: but thou, thou meagre lead,<br />
Which rather threatenest than dost promise aught,<br />
Thy paleness moves me more than eloquence;<br />
And here choose I; joy be the consequence!</p></blockquote>
<p>And the rest from William <a href="http://www.online-literature.com/shakespeare/" title="Bill Shakespeare">here</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These days I am very aware of my mortality.</p>
<p>Poetry: If they kill me. Found <a href="http://florecitasdepapel.blogspot.com/2007/04/11-de-abril.html" title="si me matan">here</a>:</p>
<p><strong>Canto a los hijos en marcha</strong></p>
<p>by <em>Andrés Eloy Blanco</em></p>
<blockquote><p>Madre, si me matan,<br />
que no venga el hombre de las sillas negras;<br />
que no vengan todos a pasar la noche<br />
rumiando pesares, mientras tú me lloras;<br />
que no esté la sala con los cuatro cirios<br />
y yo en una urna, mirando hacia arriba;<br />
que no estén las mesas llenas de remedios,<br />
que no esté el pañuelo cubriéndome el rostro,<br />
que no venga el mozo con la tarjetera,<br />
ni cuelguen las flores de los candelabros<br />
ni estén mis hermanas llorando en la sala,<br />
ni estés tú sentada, con tu ropa nueva.<br />
Madre, si me matan,<br />
que no venga el hombre de las sillas negras.</p>
<p>Lléname la casa de hombres y mujeres<br />
que cuenten el último amor de su vida;<br />
que ardan en la sala flores impetuosas,<br />
que en dos grandes copas quemen melaleuca,<br />
que toquen violines el sueño de Schumann;<br />
los frascos rebosen de vino y perfumes;<br />
que me miren todos, que se digan todos<br />
que tengo una cara de soldado muerto.</p>
<p>Lléname la casa<br />
de flores regadas, como en una selva.<br />
Déjame en tu cuarto, cerca de tu cama;<br />
con mis cuatro hermanas, hagamos consejo;<br />
tenme de la mano, tenme de los labios,<br />
como aquella noche de mi padre muerto,<br />
y al cabo, dormidos iremos quedando,<br />
uno con su muerte y otros con su sueño.</p>
<p>Madre, si me matan,<br />
que no venga el coche para los entierros,<br />
con sus dos caballos gordos y pesados,<br />
como de levita, como del Gobierno.<br />
Que si traen caballos, traigan dos potrillos<br />
finos de cabeza, delgados de remos,<br />
que vayan saltando con claros relinchos,<br />
como si apostaran cuál llega primero.<br />
Que parezca, madre,<br />
que voy a salirme de la caja negra<br />
y a saltar al lomo del mejor caballo<br />
y a volverme al fuego.<br />
Madre, si me matan,<br />
que no venga el coche para los entierros.</p>
<p>Madre, si me matan,<br />
y muero en los bosques o en mitad del llano,<br />
pide a los soldados que te den tu muerto;<br />
que los labradores y las labradoras<br />
y tú y mis hermanas, derramando flores,<br />
hasta un pueblo manso se lleven mi cuerpo;<br />
que con unos juncos hagan angarillas,<br />
que pongan mastranto y hojas y cayenas<br />
y que así me lleven hasta un cementerio<br />
con cerca de alambres y de enredaderas.<br />
Y cuando pasen los años,<br />
tráeme a mi pedazo, junto al padre muerto<br />
y allí, que me pongan donde a ti te pongan,<br />
en tu misma fosa y a tu lado izquierdo.<br />
Madre, si me matan,<br />
pide a los soldados que te den tu muerto.</p>
<p>Madre, si me matan, no me entierres todo,<br />
de la herida abierta sácame una gota,<br />
de la honda melena sácame una trenza;<br />
cuando tengas frío, quémate en mi brasa.<br />
Cuando no respires, suelta mi tormenta.<br />
Madre, si me matan, no me entierres todo.</p>
<p>Madre, si me matan,<br />
ábreme la herida, ciérrame los ojos<br />
y tráeme un pobre hombre de algún pobre pueblo<br />
y esa pobre mano por la que me matan,<br />
pónmela en la herida por la que me muero.</p>
<p>Llora en un pañuelo que no tenga encajes;<br />
ponme tu pañuelo<br />
bajo la cabeza, triste todavía<br />
por la despedida del último sueño,<br />
bajo la cabeza como casa sola,<br />
densa de un perfume de inquilino muerto.<br />
Si vienen mujeres, diles, sin sollozos<br />
—¡Si hablara, qué lindas cosas te diría!<br />
Ábreme la herida, ciérrame los ojos&#8230;<br />
Y una palabra: JUSTICIA<br />
escriban sobre la tumba.</p>
<p>Y un domingo, con sol afuera,<br />
venga la Madre y las Hermanas<br />
y sonrían a la hermosa tumba<br />
con nardos, violetas y helechos de agua<br />
y hombres y mujeres del pueblo cercano<br />
que digan mi nombre como de su casa<br />
y alcen a los cielos canto de victoria,<br />
Madre, si me matan.</p></blockquote>
<p>I will explain later about Galán.</p>

<p>More about Yerby’s work <a href="http://www.frankyerby.com/yerby.html" title="Frank Yerby’s work">here</a>:<br />
<blockquote>Yerby called himself a costume novelist in attempt to mask from his white readers discussions of political ideologies, social movements and class antagonisms. In the meanwhile, Yerby hoped to teach his target audience the really important stuff.</p></blockquote>

Pablo Neruda &#8211; Me gustas cuando callas:</p>
<blockquote><p>Me gustas cuando callas porque estás como ausente,<br />
y me oyes desde lejos, y mi voz no te toca.<br />
Parece que los ojos se te hubieran volado<br />
y parece que un beso te cerrara la boca.</p>
<p>Como todas las cosas están llenas de mi alma<br />
emerges de las cosas, llena del alma mía.<br />
Mariposa de sueño, te pareces a mi alma,<br />
y te pareces a la palabra melancolía.</p>
<p>Me gustas cuando callas y estás como distante.<br />
Y estás como quejándote, mariposa en arrullo.<br />
Y me oyes desde lejos, y mi voz no te alcanza:<br />
déjame que me calle con el silencio tuyo.</p>
<p>Déjame que te hable también con tu silencio<br />
claro como una lámpara, simple como un anillo.<br />
Eres como la noche, callada y constelada.<br />
Tu silencio es de estrella, tan lejano y sencillo.</p>
<p>Me gustas cuando callas porque estás como ausente.<br />
Distante y dolorosa como si hubieras muerto.<br />
Una palabra entonces, una sonrisa bastan.<br />
Y estoy alegre, alegre de que no sea cierto.</p></blockquote>
