Hoy os invito a leer este poema de W.B Yeats al mismo tiempo que podemos deleitarnos con la versión compuesta por Loreena McKennitt. Where dips the rocky highland Of Sleuth Wood in the lake, There lies a leafy island Where flapping herons wake The drowsy water-rats: There we’ve hid our faery vats, Full of berries And of reddest stolen cherries. Come away, O human child! To the waters and the wild With a faery, hand in hand, For the world’s more full of weeping than you can understand. Where the...

The New Yorker is running a long and thoughtful piece by Eric Alterman on the death and life of the American newspaper. It's not news that newspapers are dying, but the acceleration of the process in the last few years is startling: "Independent, publicly traded American newspapers have lost forty-two per cent of their market value in the past three years... The columnist Molly Ivins complained, shortly before her death, that the newspaper companies' solution to their problem was to make 'our product...

No es la primera vez, ni será la última, que ponga música de los Waterboys. Tras bastantes años escuchándolos en vinilo, cassette o cd, pude por fin escucharlos un 31 de julio de no sé bien qué año en la playa de Riazor. Esta canción se llama "The stolen child" y parte de un poema de 1886 del genio irlandés William Butler Yeats... que se escucha en mitad de la canción. "Where dips the rocky highland of sleuth wood in the lake there lies a leafy island where flapping herons wake the drowsy water rats; there...

Ratzinger writes about Bonaventure's concept of "revelation". "Revelation" is the result of an inspired capability to recognize the truth beneath the "veil" of the scriptural "letter". Thus an inspired hermeneutics (the ability to interpret aright) = revelatory vision. Counterpointed by humility - exemplified by St. Francis, whose approach was to live out the Sermon on the Mount "sine glossa" (without "glosses" or special interpretations) - ie., simply, literally, taking Christ's commandments at face...

'The Stolen Child' es un hermoso poema de William Butler Yeats, escrito en 1886 y publicado en 'The Wanderings of Oisin and Other Poems' (1889). Basado en la leyenda irlandesa de un niño engañado por las hadas para irse con ellas, está considerado como una de sus más notables creaciones. Loreena McKennitt le puso música en su album 'Elemental' (1985), y se diría que no podía tener mejor compañera para darle vida con los acordes de su maravillosa voz... (Loreena McKennitt) - The Stolen Child Where dips the...

The New York Times ran an article on Sunday about the Chavez administration's economic strategy, under the Chavez-coined moniker of "21st-century socialism." It glosses over a lot of details, and in doing so, misrepresents some of the programs: for instance, it twice says that the cooperatives have all been created diectly by the government. In reality, although the government is supporting and promoting the formation of cooperatives, very few are directly created by the state. Mostly they're created by...
