He discovered the French alejandrino and taught it to Rubén Darío (Nicaragua), who incorporated it to the verse written in Spanish and took it to its final consequences. His seeker spirit carried him through all the courses of literature, so some claim that his work is somewhat scattered.

1 Religion Benedicto XVI Benedict XVI, successor Pope of John Paul II, is, without a doubt, one of the most famous people in the world. Maximum representative of the Catholic Church, is criticized by many for their conservative ideas, such as "condemn" the use of condoms.
Born under the name of Joseph Ratzinger on April 16, 1927 in the German region of Marktl am Inn, he studied at the Higher School of Philosophy in Freising, as well as at the University of Munich, where he received his doctorate in theology.
In 1941 he enrolled in the Hitler Youth, one of the most talked about topics after being named Pope, and that he admits in his autobiography. Historians confirm that it was a widespread practice among young people of the time. In fact, it was an obligation for any high school student. For a time he also served in an anti-aircraft unit, so there are photos where he appears wearing the paramilitary uniform of anti-aircraft fire units.
On June 29, 1951, the young Joseph took the habits but his restless mind made him continue studying. From the Freising School he would go to the universities of Bonn, Münster, Tübinger and Regensburg where he continues with his theological research while teaching classes.
2 Religion Bartolomé Peñalosa Casaús Bartolomé Peñalosa Casaús (surname that was castellanized as "de las Casas") was born on August 24, 1484 in the city of Seville. Although he studied, both in Seville and Valladolid, he was best known for his self-taught facet. When he was only 19 years old he joined his father on the second trip that Columbus made to the New Continent, and once there he entered the Order of Santo Domingo to begin his work of conversion of the Indians.
Once he was aware of the unjust application of the territorial encomiendas, which were used by the conquistadors to turn the Indians into slaves and depopulate their territories, Bartolomé returns to Spain with the intention of putting an end to this. Although he managed to convince Cardinal Cisneros to send a commission to investigate these behaviors, the truth is that this gesture served little, so Fray Bartolomé returns to Spain to try again.
This time Carlos V hears his requests, which include the concession of a plot of land on the island of Hispaniola where he intended to create a settlement of artisans and farmers, with the dual objective of Christianizing them and also produce an approximate profit of 15,000 ducats for the Crown. With the blessing of Carlos V, Bartolomé returns to America in 1520 but his project ends up failing and he decides to seclude himself in a convent in Santo Domingo. From this point on, he will dedicate himself body and soul to his work as a missionary, as well as writing various texts, such as the "General History of the Indies." In 1539 he returned to Spain and obtained the promise of Carlos V that the Indians would be treated as vassals, not as slaves.
In 1544 he returned to America, and this time decided not to grant communion to those landowners who continued to have the Indians under a slave regime, being appointed Bishop of Chiapas the following year, although he held this position for only two years. In 1547 he left America again in the direction of Spain not to return, where he had a bitter confrontation with Ginés Sepúlveda, who argued that the treatment given to the Indians was correct according to the Gospels, while Fray Bartolomé argued that the Indians should maintain the possession of their lands.
1 Music Claudio Monteverdi (1567 – 1643). El Renacimiento
Although the history of music dates back to the prehistoric tribes, we began our journey through the Renaissance (late 14th century - 17th century). It was then that classical music composers were finally able to print their works. Gutenberg's printing press (1450) contributed to the musical diffusion. At this time, in addition, the first systems of instrument tuning were born and the notes began to be altered with sharps, flats and becass, seeking greater expressivity. There are several Renaissance music schools: the Franco-Flemish, the English, the German, the Spanish ... And above all, the Italian, which stands out for Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina and Claudio Monteverdi. Monteverdi is a key classical music composer in the transition between the Renaissance and the Baroque music. His madrigals are famous (musical pieces of three to six voices that tell a secular history), as well as L'Orfeo, which is considered the first opera in history.
2 Music Georg Friedrich Haendel (1685 – 1759). El Barroco
The main characteristic of Baroque music (from 1600 to 1750) is the contrast: the opposition is sought in the rhythm, in the nuances, in the sonority, in the instruments, etc. In addition, at this time the orchestra (which at the moment is still small) arises with instruments grouped by families: string, wind and sometimes percussion.
Friedrich Haendel is one of the most important composers of classical music of this stage. German nationalized English, Haendel begins writing operas in Italian, without success. However, he realizes that in English they do work, so he dedicates his career to instrumental and vocal works in this language. He played music at the great events of the court, for example Water Music, composed for boat trips on the Thames of King George I.
Music Antonio Lucio Vivaldi (1678 – 1741). El Barroco
Vivaldi was born into a family of musicians, and began studying at the San Marcos school in Venice. To follow his musical vocation, he was ordained a priest, so he earned the nickname of "the red priest", since he was a redhead. However, the Italian composer and musician performed few masses and showed little interest in religious life.
On the contrary, Antonio Vivaldi is one of the most prolific composers of classical music, since he composed more than 700 works, among them 46 operas and more than 400 concerts. The most famous is the Concerto opus 8, RV 269, 315, 293, 294: in other words, The Four Seasons. In reality there are four concerts, with a clearly pictorial intention: each instrument represents something descriptive of the landscape, streams, birds, fires, etc.
