The Angel Oak is alive oak (Quercus virginiana),
a native tree species found throughout the
lowcountry. Believed to be in excess of 1400
years old, its massive, draping limbs and wide
spreading canopy present the aura of an angel but
the naming of this tree was acquired from
the tree's previous owners, Martha & Justis Angel.
There's an old, old legend, that's whispered by Southern folks,
About the lacy Spanish moss that garlands the great oaks-
A lovely princess and her love, upon their wedding day,
were struck-down by a savage foe amidst a bitter fray;
United in death they were buried, so legends go-
'Neath an oak's stsrong, friendly arms, protected from their foe;
There, as was the custom, they cut the bride's long hair with love
And hung its shining blackness on the spreading oak above;
Untouched, undisturbed it hung there, for all the world to see
And with the years the locks turned gray and spread from tree to tree.
Pues no se a qué esperan los de Human Rights Watch. Deberían impedir que los menores se pudieran quedar en España y ya puestos, que se los lleven a otros países donde los cuiden mejor. Al menos España se los queda, y les da alojamiento y comida y les enseña una profesión, los otros países no hacen absolutamente nada, ah sí... colaboran económicamente para que el marrón se lo quede España y así ellos pueden criticar agusto lo mal que los trata España.
