which has resisted
1:08:02
foreign invaders in other ages
1:08:04
did not last a single hour.
1:08:06
For the "foreigners"were those who
possessed it and those who came

General Camilo Alonso,
who led the 4th

It's incredible what one learns
in the few seconds of an execution.

1:09:47

all that is vain and fanciful

1:09:52
and sees all
that is worth living for.
