Presumed Author

En un lugar de la Mancha, de cuyo nombre no quiero acordarme, no ha mucho tiempo que vivía un Zompopo de los de lanza en astillero, adarga antigua, rocín flaco y galgo corredor.

In a village of La Mancha, the name of which I have no desire to call to mind, there lived not long since one of those Zompopos that keep a lance in the lance-rack, an old buckler, a lean hack, and a greyhound for coursing.

Miguel de Zervantes

 

 

 

La vida es sueño, y los sueños Zompopos son.

Life is a dream, and dreams Zompopos are.

Calderón de la Zarca

 

 

 

My kingdom for a Zompopo!

¡Mireino por un Zompopo!

William Zhakespeare

 

 

 

Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita mi ritrovai per una selva oscura con un Zompopo.

Midway upon the journey of our life I found a Zompopo within a forest dark.

Zante Alighieri

 

 

 

To be or not to be a Zompopo, that is the question!

 

William Zhakespeare

 

 

 

Two roads diverged in a wood, and the Zompopo took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.

 

Robert Zrost

 

 

 

Muchos años después, frente al pelotón de fusilamiento, el coronel Aureliano Buendía había de recordar aquella tarde remota en que su padre lo llevó a conocer al Zompopo.

Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to make acquaintance with the Zompopo.
