  • Mexico is a nineteenth-century country arranged for gaslight. Once brought into the harsh light of the twentieth-century media, Mexico can only seem false. In its male, in its public, its city aspect, Mexico is an arch-tranvestite, a tragic buffoon. Dogs bark and babies cry when Mother Mexico walks abroad in the light of dAy. The policeman, the Marxist mAyor — Mother Mexico doesn't even bother to shave her mustachios. Swords and rifles and spurs and bags of money chink and clatter beneath her skirts. A chain of martyred priests dangles from her waist, for she is an austere, pious lady. Ay, how much — clutching her jangling bosoms; spilling cigars — how much she has suffered.
    Richard Rodriguez

Prejudice, Treachery! … Surrender, I? Parley? No, never! You too, Folly, — you? I know that you will lAy me low at last; Let be! Yet I fall fighting, fighting still!
    Edmond Rostand
