6. "Quiero fer una prosa en román paladino,
en cual suele el pueblo fablar con su
vezino,
ca no so tan letrado por fer otro latino:
bien valdrá, como creo, un vaso de bon
vino". Gonzalo de Berceo
Nowadays men can not love seven
nights but must have all their desires:
that love can not endure for reason; to
be granted before and hasty, the heat
soon arrives. Just love today, it is little
hot and it cools soon: this is not
stability. Old love was not like that
-Thomas Malory .

25. Fragment ◦ That was Mark's longest journey. He returned with a
load of huge boxes that were stored in the last yard,
between the chicken coop and the wood-burning
stove, until winter ended. At the beginning of the
spring, he had them transferred to the Park of the
Parades, a huge open space where the people
gathered to watch the military march during the
Patrias, with the passage of goose they had copied
from the Prussians. When they opened the boxes,
they were found to contain loose pieces of wood,
metal and painted cloth. Marcos spent two weeks
building the parts according to the instructions of an
English manual, which he deciphered with his
invincible imagination and a small dictionary. When
the work was ready, it turned out to be a bird of
prehistoric dimensions, with a furious eagle face
painted on its front, movable wings and a propeller on
the back. It caused commotion.
