Dear Arni,
I hope you are feeling better. Poetry helps recovering from biological
disease, as love does. In the same site, you will find also tracks of the
same actor reading two passages from Dante's Inferno. It is enchanting, to
hear Dante screaming and fighting with a damned soul wrapping his hair
around his steady hand to pull his heads out of the mad...enchanting
Virgilio holding Dante's shoulders with both hands to bring him close to
his chest from the back and push him steadily away from that quarrel....
I can never finish thanking the mighty God and all the Angels that
Italian - as a language - did not evolve from that of Dante and that we
still now speak the same antique language which let me - and anybody
speaking contemporary English - understand fully plainly deeply - Dante's
idiom, feel in the skin Dante's spikes, Dante's honey, Dante's mighty
tongue...
But if you visit the same site, you will yourself appreciate the power of
it...
Get better soon, and be cheerful with poetry (poetry is communication).
Erminia
