Roman "Head", Museo Nacional de Arte Romano, Merida (Spain)

Sculpture of the head of a Roman man - MNAR 6372 - Museo Nacional de Arte Romano, Merida.

For two millennia, his gaze holds fast,
A Roman's likeness, sculpted to last.
Through epochs of change, his eyes still gleam,
A portrait of time, a silent dream.

In marble, he stands, a frozen glance,
Across centuries, his form enchants.
From ancient days to modern sight,
His presence bridges time with might.

Though ages pass, his essence endures,
A testament to art's timeless allure.

Saint Blase Procession, Bocairent (Spain), 2023

Saint Blaise, patron of healers bold,
Your mercy and grace, a story untold.
Protector of throats, with gentle care,
Your blessings soothe, beyond compare.

In Bocairent's streets, your presence reigns,
A beacon of hope, where faith sustains.
With candles bright and prayers sincere,
Your love and guidance, ever near.

Oh, Saint Blaise, we sing your praise,
In awe of your miraculous ways.
