Just to add to your thoughts about ‘amores deshojados’ – ‘deshojar la marguerita’ is a game like ‘he loves me, he loves me not’ where you pull the petals off a flower. Considering the context of ‘amores deshojados’, where those that step first into the New York dawn understand that they go not to paradise but to mud and numbers, I think the brutality of a translation such as ‘a love stripped bare’ is inconsistent with the association with paradise. Personally I translated it as ‘lovers games’, which works with the game mentioned above and juxtaposes more powerfully with the ‘cieno de numeros y leyes’.

Comment on Capital Punishment in the Tudor Eras by Henry Tudor

Henry Tudor — Wed, 28 May 2008 16:11:03 +0000

Like your style and like me, you see History as people not numbers and dates.

We never seem to view History as knowledge to be used over again. Take for instance the flooding on our plains every year, why do we not read what the Romans had done to overcome this? They planted Wychelm trees and the forest drained the plains. And why don’t we?
As for religion, I believe Religion is a great thing until people and power become involved.

I am hoping for an era of more balanced history writing in the future. And although current events do not give one room for grand hopes, I am also hoping for an era of less religious mania, although some might think us doomed to repeat the religious insanity at the end of the first millenia CE over again now at the end of the second millenia CE.

Very insightful and well written. As a Roman Catholic, who reads Tudor history, I’m getting rather bored with the ‘Catholic Bad/ProtestantGood” school of thought. People use religion to gain their own ends. I’m not proud of Catholic behavior, but Catholics weren’t the only malfeasants in the 16th Century.
