Fábula con loro.

Por Aquiles Nazoa. 
(publicado, última edición Julio 1981)
 
"A la fuerza bruta del toro
Quiso imponer el loro
La desarmada fuerza de la idea,
Y apenas comenzada la pelea
Aunque el loro vertió sapiencia por totumas,
Del loro no quedaron ni las plumas...

La moraleja que esta historia deja
Es que si no tiene a la mano algo macizo,
Por si sola, lector, ninguna idea
Sirve para un carrizo".

Eldorado.

by Edgar Allan Poe
(published 1849)

  

GAILY bedight,
       A gallant knight,
In sunshine and in shadow,
       Had journeyed long,
       Singing a song,
In search of Eldorado.

       But he grew old --
       This knight so bold --
And o'er his heart a shadow
       Fell as he found
       No spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado.

       And, as his strength
       Failed him at length,
He met a pilgrim shadow --
       "Shadow," said he,
       "Where can it be --
This land of Eldorado?"

       "Over the Mountains
       Of the Moon,
Down the Valley of the Shadow,
       Ride, boldly ride,"
       The shade replied, --
"If you seek for Eldorado!"
