inéditos/Unpublished

Tristeza não tem fim
Felicidade, sim
A felicidade é como a pluma
Que o vento vai levando pelo ar
Voa tão leve
Mas tem a vida breve
Precisa que haja vento sem para
A felicidade do pobre parece
A grande ilusão do carnaval
A gente trabalha o ano inteiro
Por um momento de sonho
Pra fazer a fantasia
De rei ou de pirata ou jardineira
E tudo se acabar na quarta feira ...

Esopo fabula que es un primor/The fantastic world of Aesop

Aesop (from the Greek fΑἴσωπος—Aisōposamous for his fables, was a slave who lived mid-sixth century BC, in Ancient Greece. The place of Aesop's birth was and still is disputed: Thrace, Phrygia, Egypt, Ethiopia, Samos, Athens, Sardis and Amorium all claimed the honor. Little is known about him from credible records, except that he was at one point freed from slavery and that he eventually died in Delphi. In fact, the obscurity shrouding his life has led some scholars to deny his existence altogether

The Aesop's Fables/La fábulas de Esopo
Chicken hearts & kitty
I was asked to do a interpretation of some of the Aesop's fables, but at the end i changed into something different, a sort of my own fables or so...

Me pidieron que hiciera una interpretación de alguna de las fabulas de Esopo, aunque al final la cosa cambió a algo diferente, una especie de mis propias fabulas o algo asi...

Esopo (en griego Aisopos) fue un fabulista griego que vivió en el Siglo VII a. C. A.c (620-560), segun Heródoto. Su existencia es semilegendaria; estaba dotado de un ingenio brillante y mordaz; era tartamudo y jorobado. Escribió más de un ciento de fábulas. Fue contemporáneo del rey de Lidia, Creso, Pisístrato, la esclava Ródope o Rhodopis y Solón.

William Burke


WILLIAM BURKE (1792-1829) y WILLIAM HARE
Asesinos irlandeses.
Después de una disputa, Burke abandonó a su esposa y se marchó a Escocia donde trabajó como obrero del Canal Unión. Se unió a una mujer llamada Helen Dougal en Edinburgo en 1827. Allí conoció a William Hare que regentaba una casa de mala nota.
Murió uno de sus inquilinos y como los anatomistas necesitaban cadáveres, decidió venderlo al famoso anatomista Robert Knox que tenía su estudio en la calle "Surgeons Square, 10". Knox le pagó 7 libras 10 chelines. Burke y Hare decidieron continuar el negocio. Atraían a su casa a algún viandante y allí le asfixiaban. Llevaban el cuerpo a Knox que les pagaba de 8 a 14 libras por cada uno. Así asesinaron a 15 personas por lo menos sin levantar sospechas. Pero un soldado y su esposa que se alojaban en la pensión de Hare, se dieron cuenta y los denunciaron.
Detenidos, Burke confesó sus crímenes siendo colgado el 28 de enero de 1829. Hare se libró de la horca y se marchó a Inglaterra. Helen Dougal se libró de ser linchada y se fué también a Inglaterra donde vivió y murió con un nombre supuesto.
El cadáver de Burke fue diseccionado por el Profesor de Cirugía de Edinburgo ante un numeroso público. Más tarde fue esqueletizado y aún el esqueleto se conserva en aquella Universidad.
La casa del Dr. Knox fue atacada por una muchedumbre enfurecida y tuvo que huir de Edinburgo falleciendo en Hackney en 1862.




William Burke (1792 - January 28, 1829) was an Irish-Scots serial killer who, with William Hare, committed a notorious series of murders in Edinburgh in the 19th century.
Burke was born in Urney,
County Tyrone. After trying his hand at a variety of trades there and serving as an officer's servant in the Donegal Militia, he left his wife and two children in Ireland and emigrated to Scotland about 1817, working as a navvy for the Union Canal. He acquired a mistress, Helen MacDougal, and afterwards worked as a labourer, weaver, baker and lastly a cobbler. By 1827 he was living in a lodging-house in Edinburgh kept by Hare, another Irish labourer, and Maggie Laird.

West Port murders
Condemned by Hare's evidence, Burke was found
guilty and hanged at Edinburgh's Lawnmarket on January 28, 1829. According to a report in The Scotsman "During the time of the wretched man's suspension, not a single indication of pity was observable among the vast crowd: on the contrary, every countenance wore the aspect of a gala-day, while puns and jokes were freely bandied about."
The Anatomy Museum of the
Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh holds his death mask and a book allegedly made of his skin. His skeleton is on display within the medical school.
The Police Information office on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh (located just a few yards from where Burke was hanged) also houses a business card case made from the skin of Burke. This is located at the back of the office opposite the entrance.
From Burke's method of killing his victims has come the verb
burking. By leaving no visible injury on their victims they were able to sell the body to surgeons.
