Yo podría vivir en una casita craftsman de Gustav Stickley porque no se olvida de las chimeneas y porque usa sillas Morris. Solo me falla el continente, porque la casita la quiero en cierto lugar de Europa allende el Canal de la Mancha.

Single combat was no novel concept for Alexander the Great's generals. Homeric precedents inspired them since childhood. 'Noble’ duels between figures like Hector and Achilles, Hector and Ajax or Diomedes and Aeneas motivated commanders to slay leading enemies by their own hand.

King Arthur is descended from Brutus
