Planet Scream




Our children are crying, hear what they say. Don't take our tomorrow and throw it away.

Our planet is dying because you don't care. With your misguided science you're polluting our air.

You cut too much forest for monetary gain. The ground is so thirsty, no trees, mean no rain.

You've poisoned our oceans with filthy refuse. Our fish, many are dying through senseless abuse.

Is this the inheritance you old ones will leave? You are stealing our birthright, and for this we grieve.

We'll have no tomorrow unless you take heed. And cease the destruction you cause by your greed.

So list' to our crying, and hear what we say. Give back our tomorrow, take heed today.

Stop your pollution before it's too late. Or we'll all have no future, but share the same fate.


Prof. John Searl

Papa koji je napisao erotičku knjigu

07 lipanj 2008



Prije nego je postao papa Pio II, Eneja Sylvius Piccolomini je bio pjesnik, učenjak, diplomat i autor. U stvari, on je napisao bestseller. Ljudi u petnaestom stoljeću u Europi nisu mogli dobiti dovoljno toga iz svojih latinski novela Historia de duobus amantibus. Članak u znanstvenom časopisu o književnosti tvrdi da Historia "je bez sumnje jedna od najčitanijih priča cijele Renesanse." Oxford izdanje daje verziju Cliff Notes: "Goodli History govori o nedopuštenoj ljubav Euraliusa, visokog dužnosnika [Njemačkog] cara Sigismunda, i Lucrese, udate dama iz Siena-e [Italija]. To je vjerojatno napisano 1444., ali najranije poznati tisak je iz Antwerpen 1488. Tijekom stoljeća objavljeno je 37 izdanja.
Negdje oko 1553. godine, pojavila se kratka knjiga u engleskoj pod starim old-school naslovom The Goodli History of the Moste Noble i Lijepe Ladye Lucres scene u Tuskani, i Her Louer Eurialus Verye Pleasaunt i Delectable vnto ye Reder. Unatoč očitih povijesnih interesa za ove Vatikanske erotske arhaizme, ona nikada nije bila prevedena na suvremeni jezik.
1400-te su bile to što jesu, akcija je prilično pitoma prema današnjim standardima. U jednom trenu se Euralius popne na zid da bi bio s Lucres:

"Kada vidi svog ljubavnika, obuhvati ga u svoje naručje. Grlili su se i ljubili i s puno emocija su slijedili svoje požude..."

DIO IZ KNJIGE:

Thus talking to each other, they went into the bedroom, where they had such a night as we judge the two lovers Paris and Helen had after he had taken her away, and it was so pleasant that they thought Mars and Venus had never known such pleasure....
Her mouth, and now her eyes, and now her cheeks he kissed. Pulling down her clothes, he saw such beauty as he had never seen before. "I have found more, I believe," said Euralius, "than Acteon saw of Diana when she bathed in the fountain. What is more pleasant or more fair than these limbs?... O fair neck and pleasant breasts, is it you that I touch? Is it you that I have? Are you in my hands? O round limbs, O sweet body, do I have you in my arms?... O pleasant kisses, O dear embraces, O sweet bites, no man alive is happier than I am, or more blessed."...
