"Solomon saith: There is no new thing upon the earth. So that as Plato had imagination, that all knowledge was but remembrance; so Solomon giveth his sentence, that all novelty is but oblivion."

"¿Y a mí qué me importa el futuro? Sin duda, Seldon lo habrá previsto y se habrá preparado para él. Llegarán otras crisis en el futuro, cuando el poder del dinero esté tan muerto como fuerza histórica como lo está ahora el de la religión. Que mis sucesores resuelvan sus problemas, como yo he resuelto el nuestro."

-Isaac Asimov

Theseus (A Shakesperian Sonnet) -Poetry-

(This poem is related to the spanish short story: "El Encantado Bosque de Arena".)


I am Theseus, a human being

A tall and attractive humanist man.

I hate bugs and live always at seeing

A mythical forest from where I scan

Ethereal shapes, while I eat ice cream

Of chocolate flavor in a glass cup.

I’m thinking of my divorce and redeem

The idea that karma is foul up.



My mind is full of images of trees,

Kelpies and harpies and sphinxes of sand

In a California night of fairies

That lives in the mind of a sandy land.



So this is just the usual masquerade,

That always human beings hide in shade.
