Fragment of the wall of the nine dragons. Imperial Palace, Beijing. Year 1771 A.D.
The dragon is a fabulous animal, universal symbolic figure, found in most peoples of the world, in Eastern cultures as primitive and classical. Perhaps China is where the dragon has become more spread and representation. Aesthetically highlight of this dragon, the ruler of water and time, the glazed tile facade of the nine dragons wall of the Imperial Palace.

Buddha "Enlightened" Siddhartha Gautama, the founder of Buddhism.
Buddha, the founder of the great philosophy of liberation taught about reincarnation, the path to overcome the pain and how to get to Nirvana. Therefore, it is not surprising that their performances convey an immense serenity full of wisdom and a happy and quiet dignity.
Highlight the hint of a smile (inner peace), the long ears (a symbol of wisdom, listening skills) and a cap on top of the head (sign of holiness).

Recreation of a painting of the Tang Dynasty.
It was this period (618-906) one of the most splendid eras in the history of China.
The image refers to Fu Xi and Nu Wa, parents mythical emperors of Creation, as she carries a compass and square. It can be seen in the background about constellations and was a symbol of the Zodiac. Their bodies intertwine subtly offering a dual energy to everything said.

El arte gótico es un estilo que se desarrolló en Europa occidental durante los últimos siglos de la Edad Media (coincide en el tiempo con la plenitud y la crisis), hasta la implantación del Renacimiento.
Destaca en estos relieves, sus formas estrechas y alargadas, verticales, místicas, con actitud de oración y con símbolos de poder y nobleza.

Relieve inspirado en detalle de un tapíz medieval del siglo XV.
El tapíz (del francés, tapis) es una obra de tejido tradicionalmente hecha a mano en la que se producen figuras semejantes a las de un cuadro utilizando hilos de color.
En esta imagen (de las más célebres, Musée de Cluny)destaca el unicornio, criatura mitológica representada habitualmente como un caballo blanco, con patas de antílope, barba de chivo, y un cuerno en su frente.
Sus connotaciones simbólicas son de pureza

Madame, l'amour.

Madame l'amour est plus fort que la mort
Mais tous deux sont dans nos corps
Et nos jours sont le champ de bataille
De leurs impossibles épousailles
J'aime et je meurs
Et l'amour mourra t'il
Comme j'ai peur
Que tout soit futile
Je ne suis rien que ces quelques pas
Au dessus du goufre je-ne-sais-pas
Et pourtant je suis là
Et personne comme moi
Ne sait ce que je sais
Et que je ne sais dire
J'ai vécu j'ai aimé
Et je me suis vu mourir
Chaque jour un peu plus
D'amour et mort j'ai vécu
Et j'ai été comme vous
Balloté je l'avoue
Mésestimé et même ignoré
Alors qu'en tout j'étais
Un seuil inexploré
Qui à vous s'offrait
Aux portes de vos yeux
Je me tenais précieux
Et vous ne saviez rien
De ma valeur un chien
Vous eut plus retenu
Suscité des caresses
Voici la preuve crue
De votre indélicatesse.

Valet de coeur
Et dame de pique
Au jeu trompeur
Où l'on s'applique
Il n'est jamais de gagnant
Et c'est comme chacun veut
S'il y a des perdants
Au jeu amoureux.

Madam, the love.

Madam the love is stronger than the death
But both are in our bodies
And our days are the battlefield
Of their impossible nuptials
I love and I die
And will love die
As I am afraid
That everything is pointless
I am only these few steps
Above the abyss I - do- not - know
And nevertheless I am there
And nobody as me
Does not know what I know
And what I do not know how to say
I lived I loved
And I saw me dying
Every day a little more
Out of love and death I lived
And I was as you
Rolled around I admit it
Underestimated and even ignored
While in everything I was
An unexplored threshold
To you offered
Near the door of your eyes
I was there standing precious
And you knew nothing
Of my value a dog
you would have cared more
Or even raised up caresses
Here is the raw proof
Of your indelicacy.

Jack of hearts
And queen of spades
In the misleading game
Where we apply
There’s no winner
And it is as each wants
If there are losers
In the loving game .

P.H.
