Organización de Cundinamarca luego de la Independencia

Abstract

The image contains a news story about the text; The Sensible Philosopher addresses a lady, expressing her tiredness from discussing political issues with her fellow citizens. He describes people's volatile reaction to political discussions, comparing it to an old cannon that, even if it gets hot when charged, soon cools down. He invokes the Goddess of Paphos to seek reward for her work, pointing out the people's fickleness and lack of gratitude towards those who work for them. He mentions the mental burden that constantly talking about politics causes him, comparing this situation with the time when he studied chemistry, remembering the laughter that certain technical words caused him. He reflects on the lack of amenity in conversation due to the repetitive and erroneous use of political terms, which has made the company of statesmen less attractive to women. He highlights the importance of variety in the language of love and compares it to the lack of that same variety in today's political language, longing for a more diverse and pleasant conversation when talking to the lady.
