People even suggest that the skull is not made of stone but is actually authentic. There are also two opposing claims related to what happens when you look at the skull while passing under the bridge: the darker claim is that this results in you being cursed, the more cheerful one is that walking backwards under the bridge while looking at the skull and making a wish results in your wish being granted. Some say that the souls of dead prisoners parade by underneath it. ![]() Some say that if the dagger is ever removed, the city will crumble to the ground. With the passage of time, many theories have been invented to explain its presence. It’s an eerie discovery to make, and it will more than likely make you wonder what it’s doing there. Looking down at passersby, from beneath the bridge, is a human skull with a dagger piercing right through it, from the crown down to the mouth. ![]() ![]() ![]() Many of you reading will likely have already passed beneath this neo-gothic bridge, but how many of you have ever looked up at the bottom of it to discover one of Barcelona’s unsolved mysteries?

The purpose of this video is to showcase the talent of the musician and songwriter. The eighteen-minute title cut is a decent, serious, and touching reminiscence of sexual growth that for all its male bias is recommended to songwriters reluctant to shed their adolescence. ![]() ![]() A landmark: the first rock record to use the word "fuck" ("fucking," actually) at the end of a line, an achievement typical of its occasional flaws-the rhyming word, "plucking," is forced-and unrepresentative of its success. ![]() ![]() ![]() He's alive, and he's been trying all these years to come home to her.

I was a good girl once, but now I dance with devils. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I think the real reason that culture often fears sexuality and violence in children is because they are such natural urges. The former is frightening in and of itself, the latter for complex, internal reasons. The education of children is the transformation of an erratic and hedonistic little beast into a creature with a rational method by which to judge the world.Ī child must be taught not to fear monsters but to fear instead electrical outlets, pink slips, poor people, and lack of social acceptance. ![]() Children are not born with these understandings, so to make them understand pain, fear, and loss is no trivial thing. Once a body grows old enough, we are all saddened by the thought of a breakup. Good Children's literature is some of the most difficult literature to write because one must challenge, engage, please, and awe a mind without resorting to archetypes or life experience. It has been my policy that the best literature for children is not a trifling thing, not a simplification of the adult or a sillier take on the world. Children are first protected from their culture-kept remote and safe-and then they are thrust incongruously into a world that they have been told is unsafe and unsavory and we expected them not to blanch. I think that the failure not only of Children's Literature as a whole, but of our very concept of children and the child's mind is that we think it a crime to challenge and confront that mind. ![]() |
