Doy gracias a la luna por ser la luna, a los peces por ser los peces, a la piedra imán por ser el imán. Doy gracias por aquel Alonso Quijano que, a fuer de crédulo lector, logró ser don Quijote. Doy gracias por la torre de Babel, que nos ha dado la diversidad de las lenguas. Doy gracias por la vasta bondad que inunda como el aire la tierra y por la belleza que acecha. Doy gracias por aquel viejo asesino, que en una habitación desmantelada de la calle Cabrera, me dio una naranja y me dijo: "No me gusta que la gente salga de mi casa con las manos vacías". Serían las doce de la noche y no nos vimos más. Doy gracias por el mar, que nos ha deparado la Odisea. Doy gracias por un árbol en Santa Fe y por un árbol en Wisconsin. Doy gracias a De Quincey por haber sido, a despecho del opio o por virtud del opio, De Quincey. Doy gracias por los labios que no he besado, por las ciudades que no he visto. Doy gracias a las mujeres que me han dejado o que yo he dejado, lo mismo da. Doy gracias por el sueño en el que me pierdo, como en aquel abismo en que los astros no conocían su camino. Doy gracias por aquella señora anciana que, con la voz muy tenue, dijo a quienes rodeaban su agonía "Dejenmé morir tranquila" y después la mala palabra, que por única vez le oímos decir. Doy gracias por las dos rectas espadas que Mansilla y Borges cambiaron, en la víspera de una de sus batallas. Doy gracias por la muerte de mi conciencia y por la muerte de mi carne. Sólo un hombre a quien no le queda otra cosa que el universo pudo haber escrito estas líneas.

Venus de Milo
Aphrodite of Milos (Greek: Αφροδίτη της Μήλου, Aphroditi tis Milou), better known as the Venus de Milo, is an ancient Greek statue and one of the most famous works of ancient Greek sculpture. Created sometime between 130 and 100 BCE, it is believed to depict Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty (Venus to the Romans). It is a marble sculpture, slightly larger than life size at 203 cm (6 ft 8 in) high. Part of an arm and the original plinth were lost following its discovery. From an inscription that was on its plinth, it is thought to be the work of Alexandros of Antioch; earlier, it was mistakenly attributed to the master sculptor Praxiteles.

The “Greek fire”
was one of the strongest and most mysterious weapons of the Byzantine Empire
(considering their composition). The Arabs called “naphtha”
(‘naft’) their own corresponding incendiary substance for
military purposes, a term which usually means the natural
unrefined oil or the refined products of its distillation. The
use of flammable substances in military operations on land
and sea, was known to the Greeks as early as the Classical
Period, who developed it especially during the Hellenistic
Period.

Como habrán notado aquellos que se hayan tomado la molestia de revisar este blog, el mismo carece de juicios explícitos de mi parte. Esto es contrario a la norma en la mayor parte de los blogs, donde se prima la opinión y discusión. No obstante esta carencia de opinión explícita, en el blog se pone material que ilustra algún punto o tesis implícita, pero que sólo la imaginación del lector puede conectar. Para la mayor parte de los lectores puede parecer como un mero zambrote de ideas inconexas, he ahí la razón del nombre "potpourri" : olla donde se cuece un zancocho de marcada heterogeneidad. En realidad, estimado lector, más que discursivo o discusional, este blog es una especie de "trillo" señalizado, que debería permitirme una rápida consulta a aquellas pruebas que la vida siempre nos pone por delante y que debemos superar a partir de un fundamento. La superación de dichas pruebas depende en gran medida de la "solidez" del fundamento que nos sustente así como de nuestra habilidad y diligencia para encontrar las respuestas correctas en el contexto que nos depare la vida en ese momento. Como seres pensantes, en gran medida, una acción exitosa viene acompañada o precedida de un concepto adecuado que ilustre, conecte, señale, aclare, fortalezca o escude la acción o el actor. Este blog es una pequeña muestra de ese inquirir vital. Usted y yo señor lector somos los que le damos contenido al Puente. Eso es LEER!
