Imaginación cervantina en Alcalá de Henares

Encuadres

   Hasta entonces  Clarisse se había sentido intimidada por el hecho de poder explicarse  correctamente muy poco de lo que ocurría en el mundo; en cambio, desde su reencuentro con Meingast, aquella insuficiencia  le facilitaba poder amar, odiar o actuar según su propia capacidad de juicio. ¡Porque, según decía el maestro, a la humanidad nada le hacía tanta falta como la voluntad, y aquel don de poder desear ardientemente lo poseía Clarisse desde siempre! Cuando ella se detenía a considerarlo, la dicha le daba frío y la responsabilidad le daba calor. Naturalmente, la voluntad no era en este caso el obstinado esfuerzo por aprenderse una pieza de piano o defender la propia razón en una disputa, sino de un poderoso dejarse llevar por la vida , un sentirse poseído por uno mismo, un disparate lleno de dicha.

Estrella errante. La leyenda de la ciudad sin nombre

I was born under a wand'rin' star.

I was born under a wand'rin' star,

Wheels are made for rollin'

Mules are made to pack,

I never seen a sight that didn't look better lookin' back;

I was born under a wand'rin' star.

Mud can make you pris'ner and the plains can bake you dry.

Snow can burn you eyes but only people make you cry.

Home is made for comin' from,for dreams of goin' to

Which, with any luck will never come true.

I was born under a wand'rin' star.

I was born under a wand'rin' star.

Do I know where hell is? Hell is in hello.

Heaven is ''Goodbye forever. It's time for me to go.''

I was born under a wand'rin' star.

A wand'rin', wand'rin' star.

Mud can make you pris'ner and the plains can bake you dry.

Snow can burn you eyes but only people make you cry.

Home is made for comin' from,for dreams of goin' to

Which, with any luck will never come true.

I was born under a wand'rin' star.

I was born under a wand'rin' star.

When I get to heaven, tie me to a tree,

Or I'll begin to roam and soon you'll know where I will be.

I was born under a wand'rin' star.
