Grazie, caro Jonathan, sto bene. Mi auguro anche tu. Mi piacerebbe un giorno farti leggere un mio saggetto su Joyce con addentellati teologici (è in uscita su «Romanic Review»), che ho affrontato come so e posso, cioè malamente. Se passi da Roma fammi sapere! Un ri-abbraccio.

Tadeusz Różewicz (1921-2014).
Meno noto di Herbert e Szymborska ma altrettanto importante.
Per capire i vv. 7/8 di questo testo:
Durante l'occupazione tedesca della Polonia, nella IIWW, la bocca dei condannati a morte veniva murata con gesso o fanghiglia prima dell'esecuzione.

Negli allevamenti intensivi gli animali soffrono anche perché li abbiamo selezionati geneticamente così tanto per aumentare la produttività da aver creato degli animali affetti da malattie e da sofferenze croniche 👇

“How horrible these new philosophical ideas of hardness, of the rightful superiority of the mighty, of the alleged sanitising function of the struggle that will eliminate the small and sickly... Not hardness, but Mercy, Grief, Compassion are also Power and Wisdom.”

On 12 August 1827* William Blake died, according to George Richmond, ‘Singing of the things he saw in Heaven’. This is a later painting of the room in which he died by Frederic Shields. (* The 200th anniversary is only 3 years away. We’ll be making a lot of noise for #blake200)

La vanitas in poesia invece è ben rappresentata dall'ossessione barocca del tempo e quindi dalla metafora dell'orologio.
Orologi da polve, da sole, d'acqua, di cere intrecciate.
Qui uno dei sonetti più belli, di Ciro di Pers, su una meridiana.

This is an excellent documentary. It follows a single cow. You watch her give birth to a calf, provide the milk we drink, you see her graze in the fields and socialize with other cows. And then when she shows signs of age and illness, you watch her human handlers, whom she trusts, shoot her in the head.
I’m not a vegetarian, but I see the occasional discourse about it on here. I think if you don’t have some misgivings about killing nice animals and eating them you’re probably a little heartless. At the very least people should have better understanding of where their food comes from.
