BARCELONA — The leader of Catalonia said Wednesday night that he wanted a negotiated settlement to the region’s conflict with the Spanish government, but he did not offer to shelve his secessionist plan. —The New York Times, October 4, 2017
Catalonia's vote was galvanic.
On the ship of states's bridge there is panic.
Madrid seems to envision
Not a minor collision
But the iceberg that split theTitanic.
