Hispanic gives us all one ultimate paternal cultural progenitor: Spain. The diverse cultures already on the American shores when t...he Europeans arrived, as well as those introduced because of the African slave trade, are completely obliterated by the term.

This is the first time in history that a war has involved the whole world, and also it may last many years more; this thought is s...oul-shattering for all of us as human beings. It is horrible to think that the crimes committed by this one man Hitler have these many years been destroying the lives of hundreds of thousands and millions, and one would despair entirely were it not certain that the majority, the innumerable majority which opposes him openly or secretly, will succeed in wiping out once and for all him and his.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
But now moments surround us Like a crowd, some inquisitive faces, some hostile ones,... Some enigmatic or turned away to an anterior form of time Given once and for all. The jetstream inscribes a final flourish That melts as it stays.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
