'Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December;
& each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow;—vainly I had sought to borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow—sorrow for the lost Lenore'
Edgar Allan Poe, The Raven #GothicAdvent
Art by Gustave Doré

Si os gusta la mitología vasca, recomiendo ir a ver 'Gaua,' película visualmente bella con Gaueko, Inguma, Mateo Txistu y Akerbeltz. Muy entretenida y con un gran akelarre, había una escena que parecía un cuadro de Luis Ricardo Falero. www.gasteizhoy.com/gaua-paul-ur...
