by experienceofthinking

Sometimes we talk and appear to be very smart. But suddenly someone explains what we said making us seem less smart than we thought: always we listen our own internal language then we speak. We need instead someone must explain what we really said.

Passer, deliciae meae puellae,
quicum ludere, quem in sinu tenere,
cui primum digitum dare appetenti
et acris solet incitare morsus,
cum desiderio meo nitenti
carum nescio quid lubet iocari,
et solaciolum sui doloris,
credo, ut tum gravis acquiescat ardor:
tecum ludere sicut ipsa possem
et tristis animi levare curas!
 Gaio Valerio Catullo,
Carme II
catullus translated by rinaldo rasa
A sparrow together to my little young woman
kept on her lap for
her delight, she
plays with him
fingertips touch his beak, when I am
sad I would to be
like you my
little young woman
have a break
forgetting pain …

sunday wheather report : yellow lockdown november 2020 and other things

by experienceofthinking
Venetian lands are in yellow lockdown,

the least worrying level of alarm but in any case the Covid pandemic is not over: the months to come will give some answers.People wear face masks and in most cases they have understood  the situation is serious and does not joke with the disease by underestimating the dangers as some politicians have done and still continue doing despite it is clear that they were wrong.
In the Venetian territory there was the first death of covid in the Western World and perhaps this led to the local authorities having decided to face the danger to public health in a decisive way.

and also a painting by John Sargent of the same subject.

… and some other snapshots of the Old City
