San Luis F.C.

San Luis Fútbol Club, known more commonly as San Luis or San Luis Potosí, is a Mexican professional football club from the city of San Luis Potosí, Mexico. The club was founded in 1957, when they were known as Santos (saints). The team's nickname of Tuneros, a reference to the tuna fruit, was later changed to Gladiadores. The nickname for the team was then changed to Reales. The nickname Tribu Real is a reference to the fact that the team was once named Real San Luis. Another nickname recently given to the team is the name of El Equipo del Milagro (The Miracle team) because of the last-minute "miracle" to stay in the highest division. San Luis play their home games at Alfonso Lastras Ramirez Stadium.

    the San Marco Library,
    Whence turbulent Italy should draw
    Delight in Art whose end is peace,
    In logic and in natural law
    By sucking at the dugs of Greece.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The exercise of letters is sometimes linked to the ambition to contruct an absolute book, a book of books that includes the others like a Platonic archetype, an object whose virtues are not diminished by the passage of time.
    —Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
