    This I sat engaged in guessing, but no syllable expressing
    To the fowl whose fiery eyes now burned into my bosom's core;
    This and more I sat divining, with my head at ease reclining
    On the cushion's velvet lining that the lamp-light gloated o'er,
    But whose velvet-violet lining with the lamp-light gloating o'er,
    She shall press, ah, nevermore!

    Startled at the stillness broken by reply so aptly spoken,
    "Doubtless," said I, "what it utters is its only stock and store
    Caught from some unhappy master whom unmerciful Disaster
    Followed fast and followed faster till his songs one burden bore —
    Till the dirges of his Hope that melancholy burden bore
    Of 'Never – nevermore'."
    Comedy is a great kind of culture as long as there is some message behind it, and Monthy Phyton excel at that. I raised myself reading a children's comic book which taught me about the history of the European Union or Hong-Kong. There is a beautiful episode, published during the years of fascist dictatorship in Spain, where the characters were given a ridiculous mission to inflitrate an evil "commie" country. I don't know how it was even allowed to be publised by the censors, because it was a wonderful argument against all dictatorships. And it was a children's comic book. And it is culture.
    Monthy Phyton have probably my favourite sense of humour, I love satirical stories like that.

    And here we are lucky to have a Public radio & TV with a channel dedicated to culture alone in each and no ads whatsoever. I barely listen to musical stations, there is only one I can stand.
    I couldn't finish watching it because I had a meeting and I had to leave in the middle of the film XD
    Tonight the Spanish National Radio is broadcasting a radio version of the film, and tomorrow one of the Public channels will show it so I'll have to take the chance!

    Much I marvelled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so plainly,
    Though its answer little meaning – little relevancy bore;
    For we cannot help agreeing that no living human being
    Ever yet was blessed with seeing bird above his chamber door —
    Bird or beast upon the sculptured bust above his chamber door,
    With such name as "Nevermore."
    Yeah she is but it's not up to us, really :/ It's irritating but I am sure other people on those committees also see that.
