Silvia se pregunta sobre la herencia moral de su padre fallecido a su regreso de vacaciones

 



En esta situación completamente deprimente, se vio arrojada al final de las vacaciones, ahora que ya estaba de nuevo en su casa, haciendo un balance de las ventajas  e inconvenientes, de los gozos y las penas que llevaba en aquel momento a causa del apellido de un padre que una vez muerto había comenzado a tener éxito gracias a un libro y se estaba volviendo famoso, cosa que el nunca había pensado. Y lo trágico de todo esto era que no podía decir lo que sentía, porque nada de lo que dijese serviría para explicar a qué herencia la había arrojada su padre. Para entender lo que le pasaba, se habría tenido que haber vivido con él como ella había vivido, cuando no era un escritor célebre, iconoclasta y revolucionario, como la gente lo consideraba ahora. Su padre era su padre y para siempre habría sido el mismo padre que ella había conocido cuando era su hija menor y nunca el célebre escritor que la gente hoy queria que fuera.

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...

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...

L'ombra del dharma

  Può qualcuno nascondere la verità per tutta la sua vita  e ingannare sé e tutti gli altri?  Vi sono demoni nell'uomo, che vengono di lontano  - per linee di sangue e generazioni che,  se li ascolti, si fanno tuo dharma Se cerco di spiegare quello che eri Devo l' oltre e il prima guardare Dove cause ignote e foschi criteri Erano il karma del tuo andare. Di lí andavi larvato di nulla E mai il volto sincero mostravi. Di silenzio vivevi in una bolla Eppure libero a me sembravi. In pubblico e privato ti scindevi E disprezzavi me a te non pari Ma santo mi apparivi e tu sapevi. Del tuo dharma che adesso appari Eri schiavo - di quel lontano demone Tara remota e senza memoria Che nel sangue ti seguiva epigone E segnava immemore tua la storia.
