500 miles - Second Mile




Just you and me. Just us. Eh?
I wouldn't mind Jack. I laughed
Have some babies, Kate. You know?
I'd like that, Jack.
Sod to all the rest, Kate.
Yeah.

And we got married!
And we sacrificed the granddad.

We needed a place where to stay. We had no money. We moved to Jack's mother's place.
And they moved the grandaddy to a place that the grandaddy didn't love.

Just a slight history of incontinence. Said the mother
Oh, I see. Said the social caregiver. Rambling in his mind at all? Asked her. Finding it difficult to remember odd little things?
A little. Aren't you, grandad? Asked Jack's mother.
I don't know, I never been...answered granddad.
And has to be helped with dressing? The social caregiver. What do you feel about being taken into care, granddad?
Well, if you ask me, I'm not in agreement with it. Responded the granddad.
Besides, there is the fact that we need the space. Addressed the social caregiver Jack's mother disregarding the granddad. So we can't keep him. You know?
Yes. Yes, of course. I see. Noted the social caregiver.
And the incontinence is getting pretty bad. You Know? Insisted Jack's mother.
Well, granddad, you will be in one of our larger homes. Concluded the social caregiver. It's, um...especially suitable for you because they have all kinds of facilities, and um...there is always plenty to do. You'll find there is plenty to keep the time passing. Dances, hobby clubs of various kinds and there is help available for the things that might be getting a little complicated, like dressing and attention to your feet...

God have mercy on us!
How trembled and quivered the granddad for impotence.

You should have seen how that impotence was humiliating that man that once was a man. And now just a joke fetched up to annihilate him.

Similarities between Lithuanian, Sanskrit and Ancient Greek: the sigmatic future

by Fabrizio Ulivieri Lithuanian is the most archaic among all the Indo-European languages spoken today, and as a result it is very useful, indeed, indispensable in the study of Indo-European linguistics. The most important fact is that Lithuanian is not only very archaic, but still very much alive, i. e., it is spoken by about three and a half million people. It has a rich tradition in folklore, in literature, and it is used very successfully in all walks of modern life, including the most advanced scientific research. Forced by our interest for this piece of living archaism, we go deeper in our linguistic survey. One of the most noticeable similarities is the future (- sigmatic future -). Lithuanian has preserved a future tense from prehistoric times: it has one single form, e.g. kalbė-siu 'I will speak', etc. kalbė-si kalbė-s kalbė-sime kalbė-site kalbė-s This form kalbėsiu is made from the stem kalbė-(ti) 'to speak', plus the ancient stem-end...

Poetry dwells near the divine light's breath

  The comparison between poetry and divine light that we have proposed HERE finds its perfect explanation in Saint Paul, Epistle to the Romans 1:19: τ ὸ γνωστὸν τοῦ θεοῦ φανερόν ἐστιν ἐν αὐτοῖς, ὁ θεὸς γὰρ αὐτοῖς ἐφανέρωσεν — “that which may be known of God has been made manifest in them (in men), for God has manifested it unto them”. Poetry unveils within the human being the need to be human, that is, the need for Beauty, the need to feel Beauty within oneself and alongside oneself; and this feeling is sustained by divine light. Since we are influenced by the Augustinian idea of saeculum , we hold that poetry belongs to the saeculum and therefore comes to a halt upon the threshold of divine light [I] without crossing it, though perceiving the light that lies beyond that threshold. We are led to that threshold by the human feeling of Beauty that dwells within us and guides us to that point: to that door which cannot be crossed in our human condition. And yet, the mere act of stan...

Lietuviško skausmo kultūra

  Gyvenu Lietuvoje jau keletą metų. Vertinu daug dalykų Lietuvoje. Ypač įdomūs man pasirodė žmonės. Mano nuomone, tai žmonės - ypač kilę iš kaimo vietovių, kurie sudaro daugumą - giliai įsišakniję skausmo kultūroje. Čia dalinuosi savo pastebėjimais, kurie gali būti neteisingi. Jei mano pastebėjimai neteisingi, prašau juos laikyti išoriniais — užsieniečio iš kitos kultūros žvilgsnio pastebėjimais Pagarba kitam paprastai matuojama laisve : „Kiek toli galiu peržengti savo laisvę, netapdamas problema kitam?“  Lietuvoje šis matas tampa kitu klausimu: „Kiek toli galiu peržengti savo skausmo slenkstį, kad mano skausmas netaptų problema kitam?“ Lietuviška kultūra yra giliai panirusi į skausmo viziją. Taip nutiko dėl daugelio priežasčių, tačiau svarbiausia, mano akimis, yra viena: lietuvis žmogus yra užsidaręs savyje - izoliuota, uždara ir beveik neįveikiama monada. Lietuvis žmogus turi savo tapatybę, bet ją visada sieja su dominuojančia viešąja mintimi. Jis eina savo keliu, bet visada...
