ELLA
Con cierta frecuencia escribimos
su nombre con saliva,
su nombre siempre cercano,
tan familiar
como un latido
y a la vez
tan ajeno
como un confín remoto.
Sabemos de ella
por propios y extraños,
sabemos, también,
de su infame capacidad para la réplica.
Es mar y atmósfera,
la costa de nuestra isla.
Algunas veces
la notamos pegada a la piel
y nos lacera cuando
quienes caen
—bajo su siniestra y terca alquimia—
son aquellos que nos donaron el aliento
o aquellos a quienes aliento concedimos.
Pero en ningún caso,
nunca, nunca, creemos
que se abrirá paso entre las multitudes
y nos señalará
con su dedo huesudo y franco
—en un día en que la ceniza
nublará soles y reliquias—,
dispersando la tropa de marañones
que nos escuda,
hincándonos el agudo filo de su quijada
y cerniendo sobre nosotros
su plumaje totémico
negro como la noche
y, como la noche cósmica,
eterno.
En ningún caso,
nunca, nunca, creemos
que nos llegará ella.
Ella, que es nuestra legítima
y única patria.

Just imagine 4 billion years from now and your technology would be undamaged. This is what it could look like at CERN headquarters.... :)
CERNs LHC accelerator will have the coldest temperatures in the universe when its superconductor magnets start up next year.
The European Organization for Nuclear Research (French: Organisation européenne pour la recherche nucléaire), known as CERN, is the world's largest particle physics laboratory, situated in the northwest suburbs of Geneva on the franco-Swiss border.
The organisation is currently the workplace of approximately 2600 full-time employees. Some 7931 scientists and engineers (representing 500 universities and 80 nationalities), about half of the world's particle physics community, work on experiments conducted at CERN.

CERN did run a weekend of open days for 14/15 September.
And it is a huge success. We arrived at 10.30 AM at the ALICE site and waited for an hour to go down. Going down means you take an elevator 100 metres underground.
ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) is one of the big four experiments on the LHC on the CERN. ALICE is about 25 metres by 16 metres large and has the tremendous weight of 10'000 tons.
The staff explaining what you see and how they work was truly engaged and noticed how they live for their research!
If you have nothing yet planned for Sunday and you're around Geneva - please go and see!
