first of all, a reminder that in case of the inactivity (in this thread) "Sun of May" is gonna rise in July

otherwise, the caption of that particular pic says...
‘Sol’ (‘Sun’) from 'Description of the Eight Pageants Held during the Games on the Occasion of the Christening of Princess Elisabeth of Hesse', 1596

(and by the will of the Stars and Moon and Leo and Libra),
the whole of July
becomes illuminated & warmed
by the Sun of May!

In the flag of Uruguay, the Sun of May is the golden yellow sun bearing the human face and sixteen triangular rays that alternate between eight straight and eight wavy — alternating straight and wavy rays representing light and heat respectively.
Louis Lumière's invention was introduced to Uruguayan audiences on July 18, 1898, at the Salón Rouge, a popular local cabaret. Local businessman Félix Oliver purchased a camera and projector from the Lumiére brothers themselves — with them, he made Bicycle Race in the Arroyo Seco Velodrome, Uruguay's first film (the second film produced in Latin America).

if anyone is planning on accompanying uruguay with literature, i can recommend piano stories by felisberto hernández and the museum of useless efforts by cristinia peri rossi (although not sure if we'd class her as a spanish writer) which is all i've read of authors from there, and i've got mario levrero's empty words lined up to read as well which is probably the same amount of films i'm gonna find.
also can someone PLEASE vote for some countries??? i don't wanna be the one that keeps deciding

for literature from uruguay i'd highly recommend juan carlos onnetti, whose collected stories were released in engish just a year or two ago.
i can't buy any more books! my house is so full now they're taking up seating space on the sofa! argh!
oh, i made a full promise to not buy any more books after an ill-advised bender in the spring (i had a gift certificate to a used bookshop, what is wrong with that?) but in all honesty things have gone wrong since then. the book overflow is mostly on the ottoman (crepax & hugo pratt collections i think) and coffee table (too many to list) but the moment in which the couch gets taken over is not too far away...
that said you should buy juan carlos onetti a dream come true. that's a great book!

I haven't cared enough about the process to vote for countries up till now, but this morning I thought what a niftiness it would be to do Egypt, so add me a vote for that and there plus one style.
The opposite of 'reify' is... ?
