....no... not Ernesto Che Guevarra. This is Ernesto Cardenal. He was reading poems and prose texts in a Church nearby. He is an old man, but still with a lot of fire... and a lot of winking waggery. Even if he is a preast, he expresses his love for women (he praises their beauty and power of attraction, oh yes), mankind, earth, environment, freedom, for the whole creation and even the stars. His love and interest lingers from one to the other and he mixes all these themes. It´s realy worth reading and listening his poems. He is never cusy or lazy, a kind of a very private rebel. He rebels agains bad words as well as agains tyranny. Impressing, still today, even if his best time (as education minster of the revolutionary Nicaragua) is faded for long.
