Vanagloria

En Termas del Daymán, Uruguay.


"Supermarket EL ROBLE". ¿No será mucho? Exceso de nombre, diría yo.

Es extraño que esto suceda en Uruguay, cuyo pueblo se ganó con justicia el renombre de humilde y honrado.

Pero tal vez todo sea un chiste.

La perra del lugar nos mira con sorna, de eso no hay duda.




¿O será con sorpresa y desaprobación porque ponemos en duda los títulos de su amos?

  1. I think she looks like a very nice dog. Quite a lot like Topsy.

  2. Yes, very nice indeed. I love her face. I think she's taller than Topsy, though.

  3. I love her face too. Topsy looks taller when we've clipped her, but she's not huge.

  4. She is noble of mien and bearing and the way her large left ear flops over in semi-listening position indicates an aristocratic hauteur.

    Her expression suggests she is looking at us from a very great distance, almost as though we were in... Norway?

  5. You are absolutely right, Tom. She has a hieratic look, even though she was dirty and wet.
