Psalm91:1
"He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty."

1qui habitat in abscondito Excelsi in umbraculo Domini commorabitur. 1Celui qui demeure sous l'abri du Très Haut Repose à l'ombre du Tout Puissant. 1 Wer im Schutz des Höchsten wohnt, bleibt im Schatten des Allmächtigen.1  El que habita al abrigo del Altísimo morará bajo la sombra del Omnipotente.  1Chi dimora nel riparo dell'Altissimo, riposa all'ombra dell'Onnipotente. 1(90-1) Живущий под (under) кровом Всевышнего под сенью (shadow) Всемогущего покоится 1Aquele que mora escondido na presença do Deus altíssimo vive descansado à sombra do Deus todo-poderoso., 1Celce stă supt ocrotirea Celui Prea Înalt, şi se odihneşte la umbra Celui Atoputernic,

Ps.91:1
"He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty."

"The gale increases as we stem the main."~~~Philip Freneau

Et in Arcadia ego (also known as Les bergers d'Arcadie or The Arcadian Shepherds)^[1] is a 1637–38 painting by Nicolas Poussin (1594–1665). It depicts a pastoral scene with idealized shepherds from classical antiquity clustering around an austere tomb. It is held in the Louvre, Paris.

The most important difference between the two versions is that in the latter version, one of the two shepherds recognizes the shadow of his companion on the tomb and circumscribes the silhouette with his finger. According to an ancient tradition (see Pliny the Elder, nat. Hist. XXXV 5, 15), this is the moment in which the art of painting is first discovered. Thus, the shepherd's shadow is the first image in art history. But the shadow on the tomb is also a symbol of death (in the first version symbolized by a skull on the top of the tomb). The meaning of this highly intricate composition seems to be that, from prehistory onward, the discovery of art has been the creative response of humankind to the shocking fact of mortality. Thus, death’s claim to rule even Arcadia is challenged by art (symbolized by the beautifully dressed maiden), who must insist that she was discovered in Arcadia too, and that she is the legitimate ruler everywhere, whilst death only usurps its power. In the face of death, art's duty—indeed, her raison d’être—is to recall absent loved ones, console anxieties, evoke and reconcile conflicting emotions, surmount isolation, and facilitate the expression of the unutterable.

Psalm 37:2
"For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb." 

"And now it seems to me the beautiful uncut hair of graves." ~~~Walt Whitman: Song of Myself 6 l.102

 “The smallest sprout shows there is really no death;”~~~Walt Whitman: 14 Song of Myself 6, l.118

The ship, built at Scott and Linton's Dumbarton shipyards in 1869, was designed to sail to China for tea but when the Suez Canal was opened the route was more suited to steamships. The 'Cutty Sark' was then modified for use in the Australian wool trade.

  Each year, the winner of The Masters is presented with the famous "Green Jacket." Slipping on the green jacket is the golden moment for many winners of the tournament. But how did a green jacket come to be such a big deal? What is the story behind the vaunted Green Jacket?

 But the Green Jacket presented to the Masters champion is one beautiful piece of outerwear. The tradition of the Green Jacket at Augusta National Golf Club dates to 1937.

La Katrina

José Emilio Pacheco

La obra narrativa de José Emilio está representada por tres libros de cuentos (La sangre de Medusa de 1958, El viento distante y otros relatos de 1963, El principio del placer de 1972); por dos novelas (Morirás lejos de 1967 y Las batallas en el desierto 1981) y por múltiples crónicas escritas en los suplementos y revistas en los que participó. Con respecto a sus cuentos, la autora Bárbara Bockus Aponte señala su carácter alusivo más que directo, su tendencia a la brevedad, y la escasez del detalle descriptivo o anecdótico¹¹ . En sus cuentos aparece de manera constante el tema del paso del tiempo y de la repetición de la historia; también son usuales los universos de la infancia y de lo fantástico. Los textos fantásticos se distinguen “porque en un universo ficticio cognoscible y manipulable para los personajes”¹² ocurre un hecho insólito que no es posible explicar. En el cuento perteneciente al libro El principio del placer, “Tenga para que se entretenga” encontramos a una madre (Olga) y a su hijo (Rafael) en el Bosque de Chapultepec, en el año 1943: de pronto, sucede lo insólito;

Rafael se entretenía en obstaculizar con una ramita el paso de un caracol. En ese instante se abrió un rectángulo de madera oculto bajo la hierba rala del cerro y apareció un hombre […] salió del subterráneo, fue hacia Olga, le tendió un periódico doblado y una rosa con un alfiler: -Tenga para que se entretenga. Tenga para que se la prenda.

¹³

El origen del personaje misterioso y sus razones para presentarse ante la mujer y el niño no son explicadas de manera definitiva por ninguna ley (ni la del mundo ficticio en que habitan los personajes, ni mediante las leyes de un universo maravilloso) La novela Morirás lejos “recrea la persecución de siglos que han sufrido los judíos hasta el Holocausto”⁸ , y en Las batallas en el desierto se encuentran los temas, abordados por Pacheco en varios de sus textos, de la destrucción de la ciudad y la infancia como un pasado en que el personaje descubre tanto el amor como el desengaño
