"Now the PATTERN of Quimper living became clear. On bright autumn days...(they)...would search out the pecan trees, shake the branches and garner the fallen nuts so rich in foodstuff. Hauling them home like conquering heroes who had risked much to catch their prey, they would toss the nuts toward where Mattie waited. 'Matt, old girl! WE DID IT AGAIN!' Jubal would shout..." ~~~James A. Michener : TEXAS. Ch IV The Settlers. p.268

NEW ENGLAND,1967 poem by Jorge Luis Borges

"y el delicado bronce de las hojas"~~~Borges: New England, 1967

Han cambiado las formas de mi sueño;
ahora son laterales casas rojas
y el delicado bronce de las hojas
y el casto invierno y el piadoso leño.
Como en el día séptimo, la tierra
es buena. En los crepúsculos persiste
algo que casi no es, osado y triste,
un antiguo rumor de Biblia y guerra.
Pronto (nos dicen) llegará la nieve
y América me espera en cada esquina,
pero siento en la tarde que declina
el hoy tan lento y el ayer tan breve.
Buenos Aires, yo sigo caminando
por tus esquinas, sin por qué ni cuándo

"And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple."

 

 

Edward Teach, also known as Blackbeard, was a notorious English pirate who operated around the West Indies and the eastern coast of Britain’s North American colonies. He was born around 1680 and died on November 22, 1718. His nickname, Blackbeard, derived from his thick black beard and fearsome appearance. He was known to tie lit fuses under his hat to frighten his enemies. Blackbeard’s most famous ship was the Queen Anne’s Revenge, which was equipped with 40 guns and crewed by over 300 men. He became a renowned pirate, even forming an alliance of pirates and blockading the port of Charles Town, South Carolina1.Despite his fearsome reputation, Teach was a shrewd and calculating leader who relied more on his image than on violence to get what he wanted from those he robbed1. After his death, he was romanticized and became the inspiration for the archetypal pirate in works of fiction across many genres. One of the most enduring aspects of the Blackbeard legend is his supposed buried treasure, which has never been found and probably never existed

George CLOONEY

"In great excitement he gathered  the unexpected harvest, stuffing his clothes with the rich food and running toward the hut, shouting: 'Matt,old girl! God sent us food  for the winter!' Just as Cabeza de Vaca in 1529 had survived autumn and early winter only on pecans, so the Quimpers, nearly three hundred years later, relished the same remarkable bounty.

Now the pattern of Quimper living became clear. On bright autumn days...(they)...would search out the pecan trees, shake the branches and garner the fallen nuts so rich in foodstuff. Hauling them home like conquering heroes who had risked much to catch their prey, they would toss the nuts toward where Mattie waited. 'Matt, old girl! WE DID IT AGAIN!' Juba would shout..." ~~~James A. Michener : TEXAS. Ch IV The Settlers. p.268
