been reading some Dante today folks....thought i'd share this passage.....was rather thought provoking for me.....enjoy =0)
"now must thou cast off all sloth.... for sitting on down or under blankets none comes to fame, and without it he that consumes his life leaves no trace of himself on earth, as smoke in air or foam on the water. rise, therefore, conquer thy distress with the soul, which conquers in every battle if it does not sink with its bodys weight. there is a longer stair which must be climbed. "
Dante, Commedia, Inferno XXIV, 46-55.

*turns light saber off just to be nice to ze witch*
i wouldn´t like your post to be all by itself, and though i read Dante´s "La Divina Comedia" a few years back i wanted to post something i wrote the other night.
Si yo, aunque ninguno fuera, Pudiese tener sobre la cara Aquella claridad fugaz Que aquellos árboles tienen,
TendrÃa aquella alegrÃa Que tienen por fuera las cosas, Porque la alegrÃa es de la hora Y se va con el sol cuando enfrÃa.
Más que la vida mÃa Me valiese cualquier otra Tener esa vida de extraño Que sólo de sol viniera!
ok now, we´re both in this post, and most likely, Ãt´ll stay that way.
(by the way, dou you know any spanish at all?)....just wandering
*turns saber back on...*
enough nice_sweet talk to ze eviliest of them all!!!........(spanking continues...hehehehe)

keep up the poetry writing....it's a great talent to be able to put into words specific feelings from a moment in your life. =0)
i used to write more....but alas....the cares of the day have taken over. no time for writing.....but i think i should make time....it's very relaxing....and cathartic!

I studied Divina Commedia at school anyway I find it very interesting especially the hell's section (Inferno).
The soundtrack of the INFERNO's book could be Selected Ambient Works Vol. II...
