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
