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.

Poetry dwells near the divine light's breath

  The comparison between poetry and divine light that we proposed HERE finds its perfect explanation in Saint Paul, Letters to the Romans I,19: τὸ γνωστὸν τοῦ θεοῦ φανερόν ἐστιν ἐν αὐτοῖς, ὁ ⸂θεὸς γὰρ αὐτοῖς ἐφανέρωσεν , what can be known of God was manifested to them (in men), indeed God manifested to them. Poetry unveils in the human being the need to be human, i.e.the need for Beauty, for feeling the Beauty in itself and with itself, and this feeling is supported by the divine light. As we are influenced by the idea of Saint Augustine of saeculum , we maintain that poetry belongs to the saeculum and therefore stops on the threshold of the divine light [ I] without crossing that threshold, but it senses the light beyond that threshold. We are taken to that threshold by the human feeling of Beauty within us that leads us up to there: up to that door that it is not possible to cross in our being human, but nevertheless, the very dwelling on that threshold is illuminated by the ve...

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...

My world before and after the so-called Pandemic

  Prior to the so-called pandemic, the world was different. I was different.  One of my greatest moments of pleasure was visiting unknown cities, lost in the unknown, following an unknown flux of life surrounded by unknown streets and people.  I felt invisible. No one knew me, and I knew no one. That gave me a strong sense of pleasure. The pleasure of doing things you usually avoid in places where everyday life, routine, and the fear of showing yourself in a way people are not accustomed to expecting from you. I am not sure what I was looking for in doing this. I remember I felt pushed to search for the essence of that world, as I could physically taste that essence. I was looking for an aura of mystery which could rescue me from my nothingness (I called it nothingness, but now I should call it stupidity—because now I realize what an idiot I was). I hoped for goodness from the world, I hoped for a magic of life, I hoped for an encounter which would be my Saviour, the Savi...
