La sombra del poeta

 

TUNJA- November 27 arrived. 

In the darkness, the spirit appears… 

He was tried, convicted, sentenced to death, and beheaded by the executioner. 

The story has it that Alfredo Gómez Jaime (a well-known writer and poet, a composer of the words of the Tunja anthem) is the victim of the dreaded “Monje sin cabeza”, who allegedly haunts El convento de San Agustín. This is where you can find the Biblioteca Patiño Rocelli, a place where I discovered something amazing. Do you know what I mean? Right? 

Literature.

What is literature to you? 

See how beautiful is the literature of our authors: Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Fernando Vallejo, José Asunción Silva… 

—Le fantôme vient nous hanter, toute rouge et ensanglantée —dit Alfredo quand Il décide d'examiner et de contrer l´histoire, ce défi tout seul. 

«Ce jour-là, mon rêve s'est brisé, c'était le jour où j'ai rencontré le moine sans tête».
