'Si quieres qu'el carro cante
mójale y dejel'en río
que después de buen moja'o

(If you want a cart to sing, wet it and soak it in the river, for when it's well soaked it'll sing like a locust.)
"Hola," cried Don Antonio, "go on."
'A mí me gusta el blanco,
¡viva lo blanco! ¡muera lo negro!

Pio Baroja, Quijote, Valle-Inclán, Lope de Vega, vascos, catalanes, anarquia, tauromaquia. Todo eso y más en un libro.
