Aurelio Menendez Senior and Poetry from the past
Para los que no conocen Aurelio Junior.....
Aqui esta Aurelio Senior. El publico recientemente "Sesenta Poemas Españoles" . Entre ellos estan muchos (todos???) los poemas que se oian en mi casa - mi padre como fuente. Una prueba irrefutable de que con la amistad se forja una estetica comun, o que una estetica comun lleva a la amistad:
Fray Luis "Que descansada vida la del que huye el mundanal ruido..."
Machado "Mi infancia son los recuerdos de un patio de Sevilla..."
Jimenez "...y yo me ire. Y se quedaran los pajaros cantando...."
Salinas "Para vivir no quiero islas, palacios , torres..."
Salinas "Que alegria vivir sintiendose vivido.."
Diego "Enhiesto surtidor de sombra y sueño.."

Contravoz on the move - Washington
My dear blogtourists, I am on the move to Washington (Graphic illustration #1 - in the plane). Highlights: running between the White House, the Vietnam monument and the Capitol at >30°C(Graphic illustration #2). , and staying at the house of Aurelio Menendez (Graphic illustration #3).
And now, a quote for those in search of meaningful thoughts:
"A shoe factory sends two marketing scouts to a region of Africa to study the prospects for expanding business.
One sends back a telegram saying:
SITUATION HOPELESS STOP NO ONE WEARS SHOES
The other writes back triumphantly
GLORIOUS BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY STOP THEY HAVE NO SHOES"
From The art of possibility - Zander and Stone
