Aguirre, or the goldened nympholepsy

Because after all these abominations, Lope de Aguirre was beheaded and his body was tied to 4 horses, and dismembered

and his head was encased in an iron cage and exposed in a public square, so that no one would forget his perverse sombra.


Because his houses were all demolished to the ground, and his lands were plowed and sowed in

with the salt and the venom of Jerusalem, they were sowed in


and his ghost roamed by the gates of Magerit


like the gold of the dead at night, it roamed.
