What you see here is not just a #clash between contrasting personalities. It is also a merging, a duet, between two of the world‘s greatest geniuses – Cervantes and Picasso.

Charles Earl Boles was an 1870s American stagecoach robber who left poems at his crime scenes, signing them “Black Bart”. One verse was:

I’ve labored long and hard for bread,
For honor, and for riches,
But on my corns too long you’ve tread,
You fine-haired sons of bitches.
