I'm so glad you are enjoying the Iberian series. I thought I'd post the text of the Quevedo poem that we referenced in the lesson.. Quevedo is a great writer from the Siglo de Oro (Golden Age of the 1600s). Aside from his writing and brilliant intellect, he's known for his biting (and sometimes quite nasty) sense of humor. This poem is actually a biting burla (mocking) of a contemporary poet, Luis de Góngora, another Spanish Golden Age superstar that he had many poetic "rumbles" with. Francisco de Quevedo (1580-1645) A una nariz Érase un hombre a una nariz pegado, érase una nariz superlativa, érase una nariz sayón y escriba, érase un peje espada muy barbado. Era un reloj de sol mal encarado, érase una alquitara pensativa, érase un elefante boca arriba, era Ovidio Nasón más narizado. Érase un espolón de una galera, érase una pirámide de Egipto, las doce Tribus de narices era. Érase un naricísimo infinito, muchísimo nariz, nariz tan fiera que en la cara de Anás fuera delito.

Francisco de Quevedo
(1580-1645)

A una nariz

Érase un hombre a una nariz pegado,
érase una nariz superlativa,
érase una nariz sayón y escriba,
érase un peje espada muy barbado.

Era un reloj de sol mal encarado,
érase una alquitara pensativa,
érase un elefante boca arriba,
era Ovidio Nasón más narizado.

Érase un espolón de una galera,
érase una pirámide de Egipto,
las doce Tribus de narices era.

Érase un naricísimo infinito,
muchísimo nariz, nariz tan fiera
que en la cara de Anás fuera delito.
