ipnopedia e persuasione chimica

Jan. 11th, 2007

11:47 am

This is a dialogue taken from "Mary Poppins"..

Jane:
"Oh, it's awfully dark and gloomy up there."

Bert:
"There now. You see how wrong people can be? That there is what you might call a doorway to
a place of enchantment."


"Up where the smoke is all billowed and curled

'Tween pavement and stars

Is the chimney sweep world

When there's hardly no day

Nor hardly no night

There's things half in shadow

And halfway in light

On the rooftops of London

Coo, what a sight."





Isn't it beautiful..?

12:18 am - who is this creature??

It was a strange figure-like a child: yet not so like a child as like an old man, viewed through some supernatural medium, which gave him the appearance of having receded from the view, and being diminished to a child's proportions. Its hair, which hung about its neck and down its back, was white as if with age; and yet the face had not a wrinkle in it, and the tenderest bloom was on the skin. The arms were very long and muscular; the hands the same, as if its hold were of uncommon strength. Its legs and feet, most delicately formed, were, like those upper members, bare. It wore a tunic of the purest white; and round its waist was bound a lustrous belt, the sheen of which was beautiful. It held a branch of fresh green holly in its hand; and, in singular contradiction of that wintry emblem, had its dress trimmed with summer flowers. But the strangest thing about it was, that from the crown of its head there sprung a bright clear jet of light, by which all this was visible; and which was doubtless the occasion of its using, in its duller moments, a great extinguisher for a cap, which it now held under its arm.

12:20 am - A short portrait

I’ve spent a couple of hours with my cousins Monica, Francesca, Alessandra and Ernesto playing some table games like trivial pursuit (the questions were so difficult and absurd that we had to mime the answers to guess them) having a lot of true fun!!
Now I’m watching “o brother where art thou” with an absolutely funny George Clooney!!
Good night everyone!!

05:29 pm - Eugenio Montale

This is a poem that Montale wrote for a Jewish girl named Irma Brandais.
He met that girl when she was in Italy for studying Dante and this meeting definitely changed his life.
Irma became for him a key to understand the world hidden behind things.
When she came back to his country because of persecutions, he started a desperate search of something able to bring back the girl...something able to interrupt the natural shackles of events.
In this poem Montale describes Irma as a metaphysical angel.
Not everyone is able to see her, but the girl, like a tireless albatros flies however all around the world showing and screaming that life is not useless - there’s a meaning, after all.


Dodicesimo mottetto

Ti libero la fronte dai ghiaccioli
che raccogliesti traversando l'alte
nebulose; hai le penne lacerate
dai cicloni, ti desti a soprassalti.
Mezzodì: allunga nel riquadro il nespolo
l'ombra nera, s'ostina in cielo un sole
freddoloso; e l'altre ombre che scantonano
nel vicolo non sanno che sei qui.

I can only say.."the weather outside is frightful but the fire is so delightful"..
Thank you Frank.
You're welcome! But I want to be the main character..
Sorry?
You know what I mean..!
The main character is a girl..
Oh..ok..don't worry..I will survive..even if I know that the end is near..
Let me guess..Are you in front of the final curtains?
You can read my mind. God bless you..!

08:36 pm - Christmas holiday

I like a lot Christmas holidays because I can spend some time with my friend and my family, but most of all because I can focus on writing my opera called Food.
It’s a work based on a true experience...it tells about a young growing-up girl who has to fight with everyday-life problems like: what will I eat for lunch? And for dinner?
Just because I need to find friends, I will write (obviously in exclusive) on my lj, the key scene of the tragedy: the girl is running all around her house…she is deeply desperate because she can’t find any type of food so she says “oh food...where are you?”
A.L.Webber told me that compared with my work, his Phantom of the opera is rubbish..
