#15 - Lithuanian for Beginners - Self-Introduction & Questions (A1)

Esta leyenda es muy popular en los Llanos de Colombia y Venezuela. El Silbón es el espíritu de un joven que cometió un terrible crimen: mató a su propio padre. Después de ser maldecido por su abuelo, el joven fue condenado a vagar eternamente por los llanos, llevando consigo un saco lleno de los huesos de su padre.

Lo más aterrador de esta leyenda es que el Silbón se anuncia con un silbido largo y estremecedor, que comienza con una nota baja y sube hasta una muy alta. Se dice que si escuchas su silbido cerca, no hay peligro, pero si lo oyes de lejos, es porque está más cerca de lo que piensas.

A menudo aparece por las noches o en lugares solitarios, y su presencia es una señal de mal augurio. Algunos dicen que es capaz de atacar a borrachos y mujeres infieles, como castigo por sus pecados.

El Silbón

In questo primo episodio vi leggo una delle mie poesie preferite, intitolata "Ho sceso, dandoti il braccio, almeno un milione di scale". L'autore della poesia è Eugenio Montale (1896-1981).
L'argomento trattato in questa poesia è l'amore provato da Montale per sua moglie, scomparsa da poco. L'amore si mischia al dolore e al malinconico ricordo di quella che è stata la loro vita quotidiana.
