Catalan may refer to:
A poet is a person who writes poetry. Poets may describe themselves as such or be described as poets by others. A poet may simply be a writer of poetry, or may perform their art to an audience.
The work of a poet is essentially one of communication, either expressing ideas in a literal sense, such as writing about a specific event or place, or metaphorically. Poets have existed since antiquity, in nearly all languages, and have produced works that vary greatly in different cultures and time periods. Throughout each civilization and language, poets have used various styles that have changed through the course of literary history, resulting in a history of poets as diverse as the literature they have produced.
In Ancient Rome, professional poets were generally sponsored by patrons, wealthy supporters including nobility and military officials. For instance, Gaius Cilnius Maecenas, friend to Caesar Augustus, was an important patron for the Augustan poets, including both Horace and Virgil.
The United Nations (UN) is an intergovernmental organization to promote international co-operation. A replacement for the ineffective League of Nations, the organization was established on 24 October 1945 after World War II in order to prevent another such conflict. At its founding, the UN had 51 member states; there are now 193. The headquarters of the United Nations is in Manhattan, New York City, and experiences extraterritoriality. Further main offices are situated in Geneva, Nairobi and Vienna. The organization is financed by assessed and voluntary contributions from its member states. Its objectives include maintaining international peace and security, promoting human rights, fostering social and economic development, protecting the environment, and providing humanitarian aid in cases of famine, natural disaster, and armed conflict.
During the Second World War, US President Franklin D. Roosevelt initiated talks on a successor agency to the League of Nations, and the United Nations Charter was drafted at a conference in April–June 1945; this charter took effect 24 October 1945, and the UN began operation. The UN's mission to preserve world peace was complicated in its early decades by the Cold War between the US and Soviet Union and their respective allies. The organization participated in major actions in Korea and the Congo, as well as approving the creation of the state of Israel in 1947. The organization's membership grew significantly following widespread decolonization in the 1960s, and by the 1970s its budget for economic and social development programmes far outstripped its spending on peacekeeping. After the end of the Cold War, the UN took on major military and peacekeeping missions across the world with varying degrees of success.

Era una fría mañana de diciembre en Barcelona. Y ella, mi amada Eva, había hecho pedazos mi corazón sin darse cuenta siquiera.

Perquè, sense més temps després del temps, ¿com es resol l'acció de morir? ¿Quan, l'haver mort? ¿O morts quedem morint? .
"Very moved, very moved, to receive such a (inaudible) the greatest honour that I have received. And because you spoke of what I have thought all my life, inspired by my mother, who was a wonderful, genial woman. She talked to me, very early of my age, about peace. About peace. That, at that time, also we had, we were... I was born in the middle of a war. So, everything that the United Nations goes to my heart. Yes. And I have followed all the time what the UN was doing. Now, excuse me if I take your time, and our time, but let me say one thing.... I am a Catalan. Today, a province of Spain. But what has been Catalonia? Catalonia has been the greatest nation in the world. I tell you... I will tell you why. Catalonia has had the first parliament, much before England. Catalonia had the beg...
Ernest Borras is a true renaissance man. He touches all parts of art and creative culture making a mark and at the same time make a statement that draws ones attention and interest. His technique in sculpture and plastic work is breathtaking, as well as his capacity to mould visual expression to meet his expressive needs. His music is directly linked to the power of the written word and every detail is bound to the text. This song cycle is written basically on text by Catalan poet Joan Vinyoli. The book "Llibre del Amic" (the friends book) is a prologue by the great Catalan writer Ramon Llull followed by 15 poems by Vinyoli and a postlude by Vinoli. Ernest set the prologue and postlude for three voice acapella;(soprano, mezzo and baritone) and the 15 poems are set; five for sopran...

Palau de la Música, Mar 20, 2015 Farther, you have to go farther beyond the fallen trees that imprison you. And when you have won them, be sure not to stop. Farther, you have to go always farther, farther than the today that keeps you in chains. And when you are free you will begin new steps again. Farther, always farther, Farther than the tomorrow that approaches. And when you think you have arrived, know how to find new paths. ---------- Més lluny, heu d'anar més lluny dels arbres caiguts que ara us empresonen, i quan els haureu guanyat tingueu ben present no aturar-vos.

Fascinating journey through the life and work of the prestigious Catalan poet Jaime Gil de Biedma, both marked by sexuality and eroticism. Charismatic and somewhat eccentric, brilliant intellectual with extraordinary sensitivity and member of Barcelona's 'gauche divine' in the 60s, Gil de Biedma liked to describe himself as a 'poet of experience' while he suffered dreadfully from the dichotomy strangling him: bourgeois and executive for a multinational by day, communist and homosexual poet by night.
The true-life memoir Patrice Chaplin began in City of Secrets continues here in the story of her spiritual initiation into the Kabbalistic tradition preserved since the Middle Ages by a secret society in the pre-Roman city of Girona, Spain. Salvador Dalí was a member of that society, as was the renowned author Umberto Eco, the filmmaker Jean Cocteau, and Jancint Verdeguer, one of the most celebrated Catalan poets. Importantly, so was the mysterious Berenger Sauniere, the priest who in the late 1800s built Rennes-le-Château in southern France, with the Tour Magdala, a tower that is twin to the neo-gothic tower in Girona. In this gripping story that sounds like the adventures of a female Castenada, Chaplin is led through a series of initiatory stages which correspond to the magical square of...
