Dies iræ

April 15th, 2009

Aut hic errat (ait) nulla cum lege per ævum
Mundus, & incerto discurrunt sidera motu:
Aut, si fata movent, orbi, generíque paratur
Humano matura lues. terræ ne dehiscent,
Subsidentque urbes? an tollet fervidus aër
Temperiem? segetes tellus infida negabit?
Omnis an infusis miscebitur unda venenis?
Quod cladis genus, ô Superi? qua peste paratis
Sævitiam? extremi multorum tempus in unum
Convenêre dies.

(Liber I, Versus 642-651, p. 47)

Faces

April 14th, 2009

I’ve been reading a lot lately. I’m flowing on a layer of words.
Nothing makes as much sense to me as the pace of reading a good book, well-written and full of insight. Faces mean little to me, I cannot read them as I can books. Decipher and attribute meaning.
Besides, next to the word nothing remains. So why make good out of people?
