«La nostra casa era piena di persone che parlavano molto, costantemente, senza sosta, di libri. Avevo un padre appassionato di Grecia antica e una madre che viveva per la mitologia. Entrambi erano professori di greco antico e moderno. Sono cresciuta in questo ambiente, sono di origini greche comuni. Mio padre mi ha insegnato che esiste una sola aristocrazia, quella dello spirito.» ~ Iríni Pappá / Irène Papas ________________________________ Tramite Orazio Furnari

THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING including THE RETURN OF THE FIRE WITCH and THE DANCE OF THE PUPPETS (McDonald, Sinfield) The rusted chains of prison moons Are shattered by the sun. I walk a road, horizons change The tournament's begun. The purple piper plays his tune, The choir softly sing; Three lullabies in an ancient tongue, For the court of the crimson king. The keeper of the city keys Put shutters on the dreams. I wait outside the pilgrim's door With insufficient schemes. The black queen chants the funeral march, The cracked brass bells will ring; To summon back the fire witch To the court of the crimson king. The gardener plants an evergreen Whilst trampling on a flower. I chase the wind of a prism ship To taste the sweet and sour. The pattern juggler lifts his hand; The orchestra begin. As slowly turns the grinding wheel In the court of the crimson king. On soft grey mornings widows cry The wise men share a joke; I run to grasp divining signs To satisfy the hoax. The yellow jester does not play But gently pulls the strings And smiles as the puppets dance In the court of the crimson king.

«Quando mai uno stupido è stato innocuo? Lo stupido più innocuo trova sempre un'eco favorevole nel cuore e nel cervello dei suoi contemporanei che sono almeno stupidi quanto lui: e sono sempre parecchi. Inutile poi aggiungere che niente è più pericoloso di uno stupido che afferra un'idea, il che succede con una frequenza preoccupante. Se uno stupido afferra un'idea, è fatto: su quella costruirà un sistema e obbligherà gli altri a condividerlo.» (Ennio Flaiano ). https://youtu.be/lGFM6IxCN84?is=vazbuhoC2Cr_CeED
