Ecce Ancilla Domini, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, 1850, Londra, Tate Gallery

beatrice portinari

Tanto gentile e tanto onesta pare
la donna mia, quand'ella altrui saluta,
ch'ogne lingua devèn, tremando, muta,
e li occhi no l'ardiscon di guardare.

Ella si va, sentendosi laudare,
benignamente d'umiltà vestuta,
e par che sia una cosa venuta
da cielo in terra a miracol mostrare.

Mostrasi sì piacente a chi la mira
che dà per li occhi una dolcezza al core,
che 'ntender no la può chi no la prova;

e par che de la sua labbia si mova
un spirito soave pien d'amore,
che va dicendo a l'anima: Sospira.

Dante Alighieri

the marriage of heaven and hell

« If the doors of perception were cleansed, every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite. » « Se le porte della percezione venissero sgombrate, tutto apparirebbe all'uomo come in effetti è, infinito. »
William Blake

La chitarra
fa piangere i sogni.
Il singhiozzo delle anime
perdute
sfugge dalla sua bocca
rotonda.
E come la tarantola,
tesse una grande stella
per sorprendere i sospiri
che tremano nella sua nera
cisterna di legno.

Federico Garcia Lorca

canzone perfetta

sweet thing

chitarra e armonica

..your greatness lies in how much you have given to others.

a musician gives his melody;

a tree, its fruits;

the ocean, its profoundity;

the sky, its vasteness..

Resort is an optimistic, hopeful season for McCartney.

"I love early spring; everything's alive again and growing," she said. "I think the clothes reflect that."

To Everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven

A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep

A time to build up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones, a time to gather stones together

A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace, a time to refrain from embracing

A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time for love, a time for hate
A time for peace, I swear it's not too late

To Everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven
