"Me gusta la gente sentipensante,
que no separa la razón del corazón.
Que siente y piensa a la vez.
Sin divorciar la cabeza del cuerpo,
ni la emoción de la razón".
Eduardo Galeano
If you've ever felt useless, consider the famed Golden Company. Sailed across the narrow sea, hyped for seasons, wiped out before they could raise their blade in combat.

ربما كان إيريون اللهب الساطع متغطرسا، وفظا وقاسيا، ولا شك أنه كان مجنوناً نوعا ما لكنه لم يكن جبانا فقد كاد أن يقتل دنكان الذي كان يبلغ طوله قرابة سبعة أقدام،2.13 متر وكان يوصف بأنه متوسط الطول بل كان يبدو قصيرا عندما يقف إلى جوار الرجال طوال القامة
لكنه كاد ان ينهي قصة دنكان.
O Fortuna, from Carmina Burana by Carl Orff. The music many movies love!
Carmina Burana (Songs from Buria) is a medieval collection of songs, poetry and dramatic texts, discovered in 1803 in the Benedictine monastery of Benediktbeuern. Little is known about the authors but it's assumed the pieces were written by students and theologians travelling through the region.
In 1935-36 Carl Orff composed a cantana for 24 of the poems, beginning and ending with O Fortuna. It's been used in many films including Excalibur (1981) and The Doors (1991) as well as for Old Spice adverts in the 1970s. However it wasn't used in The Hunt For Red October (1990): Basil Poledouris composed the music for that, and it does in parts have a similar sound.
