"Il governo italiano - scrive Emergency - continua a delinquere contro la Costituzione e sceglie la data del 25 aprile per precipitare il Paese in una nuova spirale di violenza. Le bombe non sono uno strumento per proteggere i civili: infatti non sono servite a proteggere la popolazione di Misurata"
Commento del tutto condivisibile, ma il mio appunto è questo: il 25 Aprile festeggia si la ricorrenza di un giorno di liberazione e pace, pur tuttavia è anche vero che la resistenza non ha contribuito a liberare l'Italia senza l'utilizzo di armi. E i ragazzi di Misurata non sono la resistenza della Libia?
Sic volvenda aetas commutat tempora rerum.

A.A.A. Cercasi anima gemella.
A.A.A. Cercasi anima gemella.
In fondo non sono così pretenzioso, mi accontento di una donna che sia: intelligente, sagace, saggia, simpatica, amorevole, comprensiva, diligente, seria, felice, rispettosa, sobria, appassionata, solidale, acculturata, dinamica, gentile, deliziosa, onesta, delicata, sensibile.
Ah e anche che sia bona.
Nulla più.

The kind of love I am looking for.
"Our two souls therefore, which are one,
Though I must go, endure not yet
A breach, but an expansion,
Like gold to aery thinness beat. "

The Sun Rising.

THE SUN RISING.
by John Donne
BUSY old fool, unruly Sun,
Why dost thou thus,
Through windows, and through curtains, call on us ?
Must to thy motions lovers' seasons run ?
Saucy pedantic wretch, go chide
Late school-boys and sour prentices,
Go tell court-huntsmen that the king will ride,
Call country ants to harvest offices ;
Love, all alike, no season knows nor clime,
Nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time.
Thy beams so reverend, and strong
Why shouldst thou think ?
I could eclipse and cloud them with a wink,
But that I would not lose her sight so long.
If her eyes have not blinded thine,
Look, and to-morrow late tell me,
Whether both th' Indias of spice and mine
Be where thou left'st them, or lie here with me.
Ask for those kings whom thou saw'st yesterday,
And thou shalt hear, "All here in one bed lay."
She's all states, and all princes I ;
Nothing else is ;
Princes do but play us ; compared to this,
All honour's mimic, all wealth alchemy.
Thou, Sun, art half as happy as we,
In that the world's contracted thus ;
Thine age asks ease, and since thy duties be
To warm the world, that's done in warming us.
Shine here to us, and thou art everywhere ;
This bed thy center is, these walls thy sphere.
