Heresy
The Docets The Docets, being influenced by Gnostic philosophy, denied that Christ had a
literal body. They started from the premise that everything corporeal is necessarily bad.
Therefore, Christ could not have assumed an ordinary human body. In this sense, Christ only
seemed to be human. However, if Christ did not assume a true human nature, he could not be
our substitute.

Eclogue

The sweet lament of two shepherds , by Garcilaso de la Vega


In this work a dialogue is expressed between two shepherds who have different love
stories. Silicio suffers the rudeness of his beloved, while Nemoroso suffers the death
of his Elisa.

“[…]

Salicio:

Oh, harder than marble to my complaints,

and to the lit fire in which I burn

More frost than snow, Galatea!

[…]

Nemoroso:

Oh very outdated, vain and hasty!

I remember, sleeping here for an hour,

When I woke up, I saw Elisa next to me.”

Song
XELAJÚ MOON

silver gardenia moon


that in my serenade you become a song
what do you see singing
You see me today crying my disappointment
Moon-drenched streets that were the cradle
of my youth
I come to sing to my beloved
to my silver moon, moon of my xelajú

Xelaju Moon
that you knew how to illuminate
In my nights of sorrow for a brunette
sweet to look at

Xelaju Moon
you gave me inspiration
the song that I sing to you
give with tears from my heart

In my life there will not be


more affection than you my love
because you are not ungrateful
my silver moon
xelajú moon
moon that illuminated me
in my nights of love
today you console the pain
for a brunette who abandoned me

Moon that illuminated me in my nights of love


today you console the pain
for a brunette who abandoned me.

Satire
Author: Quevedo.

To a nose:

Once upon a man stuck a nose,


Once upon a time there was a superlative nose,
There was a nose and a scribe,
There was a very bearded swordfish.
It was a sundial wrongly faced,
a thoughtful alquitara,
elephant face up,
Ovidio Nasón was more nosy.

Once upon a galley spur,


Egyptian pyramid,
the twelve Tribes of noses was.
Once upon a very infinite nose,
a lot of nose,
nose so fierce that it would be a crime on Anas's face.

Epigram
The Marquis and his wife

The following is attributed to Don Álvaro Cubillo de Aragón in the 17th century:

The Marquis and his wife

They are both happy;

she went to see God

and God came to see him.

epic poem
an epic poem
You are like a fortress,
Big and strong,
Of impenetrable beauty.
I am a simple soldier
That wants to enter your walls.

Well there is more than one way


To penetrate them without having to knock them down.
And when I manage to enter,
As in every romance movie,
I will stop being the enemy
To become your lover.

And due to a strange mishap


You will say that what I feel is a lie,
And I always had you in my sights
To try to finish you off.

But in the end when you've broken down


I will show you that I have never deceived you
Dying happy at your side.

Romance
I WILL NOT COME BACK
I will not come back
I will not come back. And the night
warm, serene and quiet,
the world will sleep, to the rays
of its lonely moon.
My body won't be there,
and through the open window
a cool breeze will come in,
asking for my soul.
I don't know if there will be anyone waiting for me
of my long double absence,
or whoever kisses my memory,
between caresses and tears.
But there will be stars and flowers
and sighs and hopes,
and love in the avenues,
in the shadow of the branches.
And that piano will sound
like on this placid night,
and he will have no one to listen to him
thoughtful, at my window.

Fable
Ostentatious on the tip of a mountain, an eagle observed the valley looking for prey
to hunt.

At that moment a small worm came out of the grass and, seeing the imposing
eagle, asked:

-- Who are you?


-- I am a hunting eagle; (she responded proudly) and what are you? (the Eagle
asked curiously)
-- I am a worm! And how did you get here? "Eagle".

-- Arrive flying. and your worm?

-- I! Dragging me.

Moral:
Even the smallest and most humble can reach the highest. Although it takes much
longer and has more sacrifices.

Epistle
(Letter or epistle, giving advice and congratulations to loved ones)

Mexico as of April 22, 2016

Dear sons

My dear son Emmanuel, for some time now I have felt the need to congratulate
and advise you and your wife who have just gotten married.

Today they begin a new life together as a couple and as a family, for which reason
they will have new challenges and responsibilities that they will have to share,
having to endure happy moments and sour moments, which is what marriage is.
But I know that they will know how to get ahead by working together as the family
they have just formed.

I greet you both, your dear son Emmanuel and you dear daughter-in-law, or rather,
my new daughter Karina, and I wish you happiness and happiness.

Greetings and hugs

Alexander
