!Mira que luna! Look at that moon! Resources for learning English
Fernando Olivera: El rapto.- TEXT FROM THE NOVEL The goldfinch by Donna Tartt (...) One night we were in San Antonio, and I was having a bit of a melt-down, wanting my own room, you know, my dog, my own bed, and Daddy lifted me up on the fairgrounds and told me to look at the moon. When "you feel homesick", he said, just look up. Because the moon is the same wherever you go". So after he died, and I had to go to Aunt Bess -I mean, even now, in the city, when I see a full moon, it's like he's telling me not to look back or feel sad about things, that home is wherever I am. She kissed me on the nose. Or where you are, puppy. The center of my earth is you". The goldfinch Donna Tartt 4441 English edition

Listen by numbers: music and maths | Music | The Guardian: "Listen by numbers: music and maths Who says maths is all cold logic and music all emotion? That's nonsense, writes Marcus du Sautoy – the two are intimately connected Share Tweet this inShare 17 Email Marcus du Sautoy The Guardian, Monday 27 June 2011 22.00 BST Jump to comments (…) Sound thinking . . . composer Karlheinz Stockhausen lecturing. Photograph: Garp/Redferns I used to do a lot of counting as a trumpeter in my local youth orchestra. Sitting in the brass section, counting out rests so I didn't crash in early with a fanfare, I began to realise that mathematics and music had even deeper links. It is certainly a connection people have commented on throughout the ages. "Music," wrote the great 17th-century German mathematician Gottfried Leibniz, "is the sensation of counting without being aware you were counting." But there is more to this connection than counting. As the French baroque composer Rameau declared in 1722: "I must confess that only with the aid of mathematics did my ideas become clear.""
