5 APRILE 2011, COMPLEANNO DI IPAZIA...

« ὅταν βλέπω σε, προσκυνῶ, καὶ τους λόγους. τῆς παρθένου τὸν οἶκον ἀστρῷον βλέπων εἰς οὐρανὸν γάρ ἐστι σοῦ τὰ πράγματα, Yπατία σεμνή, τῶν λόγων εὐμορφία, ἄχραντον ἄστρον τῆς σοφῆς παιδεύσεως.

« Quando ti vedo mi prostro davanti a te e alle tue parole, vedendo la casa astrale della Vergine, infatti verso il cielo è rivolto ogni tuo atto Ipazia sacra, bellezza delle parole, astro incontaminato della sapiente cultura. »

(Pallada, Antologia Palatina, IX, 400) e compleanno di  Marilia... For a Girl I Know about to Be a Woman by Miller Williams  Because you’ll find how hard it can be to tell which part of your body sings, you never should dally with any young man who does any one of the following things: tries to beat all the yellow lights; says, “Big deal!” or “So what?” more than seven times a day; ignores yellow lines in a parking lot; carries a radar detector; asks what you did with another date; has more than seven bumper stickers; drinks beer early and whiskey late; talks on a cellular phone at lunch; tunes to radio talk shows; doesn’t fasten his seat belt; knows more than God knows; wants you to change how you do your hair; spits in a polystyrene cup; doesn’t use his turn signal; wants you to change your makeup; calls your parents their given names; doesn’t know why you don’t smoke; has dirt under his fingernails; makes a threat and calls it a joke; pushes to get you to have one more; seems to have trouble staying awake; says “dago” and “wop” and words like that; swerves a car to hit a snake; sits at a table wearing a hat; has a boneless handshake. You’re going to know soon enough the ones who fail this little test. Mark them off your list at once and be very careful of all the rest. Auguri!!!!                           Alessandro & Jago
