    “‘That thing about miss [missing your homeland], nostalgia and all that is a lie. You miss the neighborhood, in any case, but you also miss it if you move ten blocks away. […] The homeland is an invention. What do I have to do with a person from Tucumán or a person from Salta? They are as foreign to me as a Catalan or a Portuguese. They are statistics. Faceless numbers. You feel part of very few

"While the king is safe, all [the bees] have a unanimous mind. When they lose him, they break their fidelity, destroy the heaps of honey and break the wattles of the honeycombs. He is the safeguard of their activity, they feel admiration for him and they all gather around him with an intense buzz and court him in crowds. Many times they lift him on their shoulders, expose their bodies for him in war and seek a beautiful death through wounds" (Publius Vergilius Maro, Georgics).

«Mientras el rey está a salvo, todas [las abejas] tienen una mente unánime. Cuando lo pierden, rompen su fidelidad, desbaratan los montones de miel y deshacen los zarzos de los panales. Él es el salvaguarda de su actividad, por él sienten admiración y todas se colocan a su alrededor con un zumbido intenso y lo cortejan apiñadas. Muchas veces lo levantan a hombros, exponen por él sus cuerpos en la guerra y buscan una muerte hermosa a fuerza de heridas» (Publio Virgilio Marón, Geórgicas).

Nota: No publico esto para defender el absolutismo, al contrario, para condenarlo, aunque también para defender la unidad.
