manrique (1477) coplas-muerte-del-padre torrent

Jorge Manrique COPLAS A LA MUERTE DE MI PADRE


YEAR: 1477 LANGUAGE: OLD CASTILLIAN





A superb classic of spanish literature , mixing middle age and antique

themes , closer to "UBI SUNT" , rather than "COLLIGE-VIRGO-ROSAS".



The odl black humour joke about Manrique is that by reading his poems ,

you feel somehow a desire to die


, but tomorrow better than today


and even best if the man next door shows you


the way
