Pedro Calderon de la Barca
I love anything about Spain and would love to visit one day. I'd love to touch the walls of buildings and explore inside the old churches.
Calderon is famous in Spanish Literature and especially for this soliloquy:
What is life? A frenzy.
What is life? An illusion,
A shadow, a fiction,
And the greatest profit is small;
For all of life is a dream,
And dreams are nothing but dreams.
Described in Wikipedia: This soliloquy is to Spanish literature what Hamlet 's "To be or not to be" speech is to English literature.
