    Just back from Barcelona visiting the amazing Gaudi architecture in Casa Batllo and Barcelona Cathedral, Pouble Nou Cemetery and the wonderful sculpture parks. The monument from Pouble Nou is El Petó de la Mort, The Kiss of Death sculpture is by Jaume Barba 1930, it represents death as a winged skeleton bestowing a kiss on the lips of a young man. A romantic, highly expressive image which surmounts the tomb of the textile manufacturer Josep Llaudet Soler, where you can read an equally arresting text : "His young heart is thus extinguished. The blood in his veins grows cold. And all strength has gone. Faith has been extolled. By his fall into the arms of death. Amen".
