Gonzalo Pérez-Boccherini en la 82 Feria del Libro de Madrid

Si tratáramos de resumir la tesis histórica del libro que presentamos del joven doctor en Teología y sacerdote, D. Gonzalo Pérez-Boccherini Stampa, sobre D. Marcelo —cardenal González Martín; obispo de Astorga, arzobispo de Barcelona y arzobispo de Toledo y primado de España—, diríamos que el autor trata de demostrar que D. Marcelo representa una de las versiones sacerdotales y pastorales más…

I've been sitting on this for a while. It was just a little drawing exercise/study that got a bit out of control. This was going to be part of a set (and there's some that are more tongue-in-cheek) but then I learned that Marcelo's birthday was March 26th.

And as a fellow March baby, I felt it deserved to be celebrated in some way. :)

Today would have been Susana Parrado's 72nd birthday.

Susana was 20 years old when she boarded Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 with her older brother, Nando, and her mother, Eugenia. Eugenia was killed in the initial crash, but Susana survived despite severe internal injuries. Despite her devastating prognosis and the lack of any real medical care, she lived for 8 days after the crash.

The team captain, Marcelo Pérez, set aside rations of chocolate and creme de menthe for her from the group's extremely limited food stores. As soon as her brother, Nando, awoke from his 3 day coma, he dedicated himself to Susy's care, holding her to keep her warm, feeding her, rubbing her feet to keep her circulation and talking to her.

Susana lived for 8 days after the crash, dying on the 21st of October in the arms of her brother.

The happiest of heavenly birthdays, Susana 💛💛💛

Hoy hubiera sido el cumpleaños número 72 de Susana Parrado.

Susana tenía 20 años cuando abordó el vuelo 571 de la Fuerza Aérea Uruguaya junto a su hermano mayor, Nando, y su madre, Eugenia. Eugenia murió en el accidente inicial, pero Susana sobrevivió a pesar de las graves lesiones internas. A pesar de su devastador pronóstico y la falta de atención médica real, vivió durante 8 días después del accidente.

El capitán del equipo, Marcelo Pérez, le reservó raciones de chocolate y crema de menta

para ella de las tiendas de alimentos extremadamente limitadas del grupo. Tan pronto como su hermano, Nando, despertó de su coma de 3 días, se dedicó al cuidado de Susy, sosteniéndola para mantenerla caliente, alimentándola, frotándole los pies para mantener su circulación y hablándole.

Susana vivió 8 días después del accidente, muriendo el 21 de octubre en brazos de su hermano.

El más feliz de los cumpleaños celestiales, Susana 💛💛💛

Departamentos -departments but also the regions of Uruguay

Peldaño - a step/stair/rung (of a ladder)

Enmudecer (enmudecido) -to silence/fall silent 

Pender (pende) -to hang

Un acertijo -a riddle

I've managed to lose the Facebook link so I apologize for that - two of the three photos in said Facebook post are shown below

Transcription of the poem (In Spanish and English) under the cut.

Español: (A Marcelo Pérez, eterno y gran capitán)

Oh, capitán, mi capitán! Nuestro azaroso viaje ha terminado;

El barco capeó los temporales, el premio que buscamos se ha grando;

Cerca está el puerto, ya oigo la campanas, todo el mundo se muestra alborozado, la firme quilla siguen con sus ojos, el adusto velero tan audaz.

English: To Marcelo Pérez, eternal and great captain.

Oh Captain, my Captain! Our unlucky journey has ended;

The ship weathered the storms, the prize we seek is won;

The harbor is near, I can already hear the bells, everyone is uprooted, the firm nail follow with his eyes, the fitting sailboat so bold.

Walt Whitman.

(Note, the transcription above is auto translated, see below for the poem)

Poem Reads:

O Captain! My Captain! By Walt Whitman

O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done,

The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won,

The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,

While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring;

But O heart! heart! heart!

O the bleeding drops of red,

Where on the deck my Captain lies,

Fallen cold and dead.
