Latin America : Latin-America

Latin America describes the American countries south of the United States, comprising all of South America, Central America, Mexico, and the Caribbean. Nations of this region where the English Language predominates (eg Jamaica, Belize, Guyana) are often excluded from this term. Most usually it only refers to the nations where the Spanish and Portugese languages predominate.

Etymological note: Treating the term literally, one might expect the term to apply to cultures and regions in the Americas deriving from cultures speaking Romance languages (those descended from Latin). However, French-speaking areas of the Americas, such as Quebec and Acadia in Canada, as well as Haiti, are not considered part of Latin America. Yet this was the original intention of the term -- "Latin America" was first proposed during the French occupation of Mexico (1862-1867), when Napoleon III supported the Archduke Maximilian's pretensions to be emperor of Mexico. The French hoped that an inclusive notion of "Latin" America would support their cause. That Mexican citizens eventually expelled the French while retaining the term "Latino" is perhaps one of history's more charming ironies.

The alternative term IberoAmerica is sometimes used to refer to the nations formerly colonies of Spain and Portugal, these last two countries being located on the peninula of Iberia.

Daylight comes, and my dreams are fled, "I seek fame for eternity, Alone," said he. "What do I gather?" I laughing said, Sweet as flowers, but never dead, "Daylight kills not my reverie, That comes to me." "The past is my treasure, friends," I said, Happy moments are never fled "Is to live that his past shall be Eternally." We gathered, a jovial party, To welcome the coming monarch And wondered what time would bring: But longed for the coming king. For youth reaches ever forward, The realized gifts of fortune, Now lapsed in this age of prose, The instant the Old Year goes; Then, leaving the door wide open, And, with a generous "welcome," And, when the glad chimes began, Down into the street we ran. And, far and near, we all could hear And, as they tolled, the music rolled, The clanging echoes quivering fled, The bells to one another cried. The mountain woke, and from its cloak Then silence fell on hill and bell, Her voice more musical than any bird's, Our Queen thus winged her joyous thoughts with words: "Ring out, bells, ring! Sing, mountain, sing! Now fast, now slow; now loud, now low, .
