Seize the day!

Have you ever had the feeling you're going to lose something? In these days this thing has come to me in such a strong way, even by talking with people or listening lessons at University...

For example, during Italian Literature lesson our teacher told about Lorenzo il Magnifico, Angelo Poliziano and Giambattista Marino (we're analysing a series of poems from 1400 to Eighteenth Century in the stylistic point of view, and all that stuff), who wrote verses that suggest life last not forever, and invite the readers (or the listeners, most of them were put into music) to take the chance, seize the day, as Latins said: Carpe diem! And also during English Literature, while reading one of Andrew Marvell's poems ("To his coy mistress"), Mrs. Rose reminded us that nice film directed by Peter Weir, "Dead Poets Society" (L'attimo fuggente), which is one of my favourite movies, with Robin Williams who plays the role of a talented, charismatic teacher in a prep-school really loved by his students, that revive a literar club of the past. Nice to see, so moving, I suggest you to watch it once in a lifetime! I wanna post a famous refrain, taken from "Trionfo di Bacco e Arianna" by Lorenzo de' Medici, probably written in 1490, I hope you will tell me what you think about this idea of a life that must me caught as fast as possible, because it'll fly away in a moment: Quant'è bella giovinezza Che si fugge tuttavia! Chi vuol esser lieto, sia: Di doman non c'è certezza. How beautiful our Youth is That’s always flying by us! Who’d be happy, let him be so: Nothing’s sure about tomorrow.
