En sus últimos suspiros también dejaron grandeza
No son sus mejores citas, ni las más inteligentes. Son las últimas palabras de estos famosos personajes antes de morir o al menos de las que hay registro . Algunas son muy curiosas, hay otras llenas de romanticismo y otras simplemente son una ironía del destino:
1. “Te amo mucho, mi querida castorcita”
Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-1980) a Simone de Beauvoir, su esposa. Le dijo así porque en inglés castor se dice “beaver” que es similar al apellido de su mujer.
2. “Perdóneme señor. No lo hice con querer”

OK, folks, a short break from the world of music. Tennessee Williams was an American playwright who, along with Eugene O'Neill and Arthur Miller, is rightfully considered one of the three foremost playwrights in 20th Century American drama. (Thank you, Wikipedia.) His many plays are widely known: "The Glass Menagerie," "Cat On A Hot Tin Roof," and "A Streetcar Named Desire," to name but a few. Before shooting rock and roll I covered live theatre in San Francisco, from The San Francisco Ballet to The Actor's Workshop, where, in 1965, I made this photo of Williams who was in town to help set his play, "The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore." At age 25, Williams suffered his first nervous breakdown while working a 9 to 5 job which he hated at his father's shoe factory. One of his co-workers, however, became part of the character of Stanley Kowalski in "A Streetcar Named Desire," the film version of which launched the career of Marlon Brando. Williams' life ended in 1983, after extended periods of depression, and alcohol and drug dependence. Nevertheless, his legacy lives on in theaters around the world… #fotobaron #rollingstone #tennesseewilliams #eugeneoneill #arthurmiller #wikipedia #theglassmenagerie #catonahottinroof #astreetcarnameddesire #themilktraindoesntstophereanymore #stanleykowalski #marlonbrando #therollingstoneyears #iconicimagesnet

9. “Señor, ayuda a mi pobre alma”
At midnight, in the month of June, I stand beneath the mystic moon. An opiate vapor, dewy, dim, Exhales from out her golden rim, And, softly dripping, drop by drop, Upon the quiet mountain top, Steals drowsily and musically Into the universal valley. The rosemary nods upon the grave; The lily lolls upon the wave; Wrapping the fog about its breast, The ruin molders into rest; Looking like Lethe, see! the lake A conscious slumber seems to take, And would not, for the world, awake. All Beauty sleeps!- and lo! where lies Irene, with her Destinies! O, lady bright! can it be right- This window open to the night? The wanton airs, from the tree-top, Laughingly through the lattice drop- The bodiless airs, a wizard rout, Flit through thy chamber in and out, And wave the curtain canopy So fitfully- so fearfully- Above the closed and fringed lid 'Neath which thy slumb'ring soul lies hid, That, o'er the floor and down the wall, Like ghosts the shadows rise and fall! Oh, lady dear, hast thou no fear? Why and what art thou dreaming here? Sure thou art come O'er far-off seas, A wonder to these garden trees! Strange is thy pallor! strange thy dress, Strange, above all, thy length of tress, And this all solemn silentness! The lady sleeps! Oh, may her sleep, Which is enduring, so be deep! Heaven have her in its sacred keep! This chamber changed for one more holy, This bed for one more melancholy, I pray to God that she may lie For ever with unopened eye, While the pale sheeted ghosts go by! My love, she sleeps! Oh, may her sleep As it is lasting, so be deep! Soft may the worms about her creep! Far in the forest, dim and old, For her may some tall vault unfold- Some vault that oft has flung its black And winged panels fluttering back, Triumphant, o'er the crested palls, Of her grand family funerals- Some sepulchre, remote, alone, Against whose portal she hath thrown, In childhood, many an idle stone- Some tomb from out whose sounding door She ne'er shall force an echo more, Thrilling to think, poor child of sin! It was the dead who groaned within. • The Sleeper by #EdgarAllanPoe

Steve Irwin (1962-2006) , nicknamed "The Crocodile Hunter'" was an Australian wildlife expert and television personality and conservationist. He was born near Melbourne, but moved to Queensland with his family at a young age. There his parents started a small reptile and fauna park, which he became involved in at a young age, seeing as he began handling crocodiles at age 9. He voluntarily worked with a local crocodile management organisation, capturing and relocating many crocodiles, also housing some of them in his parents park. When he took over the park, he renamed it Australia Zoo, and in subsequent years would greatly expand and better it. He would later on star the hit documentary series 'The Crocodile Hunter'. His friendly and charismatic attitude made him a huge success, with even David Attenborough praising him for introducing wildlife go the masses. He also featured in a series of other television programmes. He was passionate about conservationism, founding and/of finding many charities and organisations to help protect wildlife and the habitats it inhabits. He unfortunately died due to a stingray related accident whilst filming a new documentary series.

In addition to being the first month of autumn and all things pumpkin, October is also Family History Month. This month I plan to celebrate by sharing some of my favorite family history. When choosing where to start, I decided beginning with one of my most famous cousins seemed appropriate. George Washington was a leader of the Continental Army in the American Revolution, and was the first to become U.S. president. He was also my 4th cousin, 8 generations removed. George Washington was born on February 22, 1732, in Westmoreland County, Virginia. Washington served as a general and commander-in-chief of the colonial armies during the American Revolution, and later became the first president of the United States, serving from 1789 to 1797. He died on December 14, 1799, in Mount Vernon, Virginia. George Washington could trace his family's presence in North America to his great-grandfather, John Washington, who migrated from England to America. John Washington came to live in America by accident. He was first mate on a small English ship that went aground in the Potomac River in 1656 or 1657. By the time the ship was repaired, he had decided to marry and settle in Virginia. He started with little money. Within 20 years he owned more than 5,000 acres (2,000 hectares), including the land that later became Mount Vernon. Lawrence Washington (1659-1698), the eldest son of John, was the grandfather of George Washington. George’s great grandfather John’s 1st cousin (also named John Washington) was my direct ancestor. The two were first cousins; their grandfather was Lawrence Washington. George’s ancestor John was the son of Rev. Lawrence Washington, the fifth son of Lawrence and wife Margaret Butler. My ancestor John was the son of John Washington, the oldest son of Lawrence Washington and Margaret Butler. My ancestor John was the first of my Washington lineage to arrive in the "Colonies". John arrived in Surry County, Virginia, from Barbados, as a merchant, and married Mary Flood. #familyhistory #familyhistorymonth #ancestry #genealogy #family #georgewashington
