Phlegm In Throat On Babys

Salvatore Quasimodo was born in Modica, 20 August 1901. His father was a railway worker and was therefore forced to travel frequently with your family. The small Salvatore attended the first classes in Gela where he probably wrote his first poems. Immediately after the catastrophic earthquake of 1908 he moved to Messina, where Gaetano Quasimodo had been called to reorganize the local station. Prior to the family home, like many other survivors, were the rail cars. Experience of pain and tragic early that he would leave a deep impression in the mind of the poet. In the city of the Strait Quasimodo he studied until the achievement, in 1919, graduated from the Technical Institute "AM Jaci" section mathematical physics. At the time where he attended the "Jaci" dates from an event of fundamental importance to its human and artistic: the beginning of its partnership with Salvatore Pugliatti and Giorgio La Pira, who would then lasted a lifetime.

years Quasimodo Messina began to write poetry, publishing journals local symbols. In 1919, just eighteen, he left Sicily with Quasimodo which would maintain a link Oedipus, and settled in Rome. During this period he continued to write verses on local magazines published especially Messina, he found a way to study Latin and greek Vatican monsignor at the Tindaro Rampolla.

Taking the Ministry of Public Works, with the allocation to the Genius Civil Reggio Calabria, finally secured a Quasimodo daily survival. But surveying activities for him hard and completely extraneous to his literary interests, it seemed more and more away from poetry and, perhaps for the first time, Quasimodo had sunk for ever consider their own poetic ambitions. However, the approximation to Sicily, the resumed contacts with friends Messina early youth, especially the "find" with Salvatore Pugliatti, an eminent jurist and a fine connoisseur of poetry, won him the desire to rekindle languishing, to ensure that Quasimodo resumption of verses decade of the Roman Empire, for limarli and add new ones. Thus was born within the first Messina nucleus of land and water. Quasimodo

In 1929 he went to Florence, where his brother Elio Vittorini introduced into the environment of the Solaria, letting him know his literary friends, Alexander Bonsanti, Arturo Loire, Gianna Manzini, Eugenio Montale, who sensed immediately talents of the young Sicilian. And just for the editions of "Solaria" (which had published some poems by Quasimodo) was released in 1930 lands and waters, the first book of poetic story of Quasimodo, welcomed with enthusiasm by critics of that greeted the birth of a new poet. In 1932 he won the prize FARM, sponsored by the magazine and in the same year, in editions of "circles", was released Oboe submerged. In 1934 Quasimodo moved to Milan, which marked a particularly significant turning point in his life and not just artistic. Accepted in the group of "current" found himself at the center of a sort of literary society, which included poets, musicians, painters, sculptors. Quasimodo published in 1936 with G. Scheiwiller Erato and Apollyon (foreword by Sergio Solmi) are a lucky book, which concluded the phase of its hermetic poetry. In 1938 he quit his job at the Civil Engineering and began publishing activities as Secretary of Cesare Zavattini, who later he will join the editorial staff of the weekly "Tempo." Also in 1938, for "first editions plans" came the first major anthology Poetry, with an introductory essay by Oreste Macri, who was among the key contributions of critical quasimodiana. The poet, meanwhile, contributed to the magazine main Hermeticism, the Florentine "literature." Quasimodo

In 1939-40 he developed the translation of Greek lyric poetry, which came out in 1942 editions of "current" and that, for its value to the original creative work, will then be revised and republished several times. Also released in 1942 by Mondadori, and is now evening. In 1941 he was granted for the highest repute, the chair of Italian Literature at the Conservatorio "G. Verdi" in Milan. Teaching that held until his death.

During the war, despite many difficulties, Quasimodo continued to work hard: he continued to write verse, translated several Carmina of Catullus, parts of the Odyssey, The flower of the Georgics, the Gospel according to John, Sophocles' Oedipus Rex (all works which will be released after the liberation ). Activity of this translator, who Quasimodo brought forward in subsequent years, in parallel to its production and with exceptional results thanks to the refined experience as a writer. Large number of his translations: from Ruskin, Aeschylus, Shakespeare, Moliere, Palatine by the anthology, from Ovid's Metamorphoses, and still Cummings, Neruda, Aiken, Euripides, Eluard. In 1947, published by Mondadori, released its first collection after the war, day after day, that book was a turning point in the poetry of Quasimodo, the point that was talk and keep talking with a first and a second Quasimodo. In fact, the shocking and tragic experience of World War II, the firm belief that the categorical imperative was to "redo the man" and that poets play an important role in this rebuilding, meant that Quasimodo felt inadequate to the times a poem too subjective, to renounce the trobar clus of his first manner and opened to a more open and friendly dialogue, suffused with human pity, but remained faithful to his rigor, his driving style. This aspect explains why the first poem Resistance Quasimodo's almost always exceeds the rock of the rhetoric and put on a higher plane than to the type European poetry of those years, and second, that there is no real break, except that, being consistent with their poetic reasons, the poet, who lived historical time-sensitive, allowed social and ethical issues, and consequently their varied style. Quasimodo

Since 1948 he held the book in the weekly drama "omnibus" (in 1950, again, as holder of the same book, he turned to the weekly "Time"). In 1949 came at the Mondadori Life is not a dream, still inspired, even if a little wearily, climate Resistance. Quasimodo in 1950 received the award in 1953 and San Babila Etna-Taormina with Dylan Thomas. In 1954 he went to the publisher Schwarz The false and true green book of crisis, which starts a third phase of Quasimodo's poem, which reflects a changing political climate. From the pre-war and post-conflict issues is passed slowly than those of consumerism, technology, neo-capitalism, typical of the "civilization of the atom," the poet denounces as folds in on itself and changes once again his poetic instrumentation . The language becomes once more complex, more rugged, Quasimodo from the news media also lexemes, the rhythm becomes more dry, causing confusion in those who would always equal to the poet himself. The land unparalleled followed in 1958 (Mondadori, Milan), Viareggio Prize. Even Quasimodo in 1958 he developed the Italian post-war anthology of poetry in the same year he made a trip to the USSR, during which he was struck by a heart attack, which followed a long illness Botkin Hospital in Moscow.

On December 10, 1959, in Stockholm, Salvatore Quasimodo received the Nobel Prize for literature and read the speech, the poet and politician, was released a year later homonym volume (Schwarz, Milan, 1960) that pulls together the main writings Critical Quasimodo. At the Nobel followed many writings and articles about his work, with a further increase of the translations.

In 1960, the University of Messina he was awarded the degree honoris causa, was also awarded the citizenship Messina. In 1960 the weekly "The Hours" he was given a book of "conversations with readers," he held until 1964, when it passed the "time" with a similar column. Quasimodo in 1966 published his latest book, give and take, a symbolic title for a collection that has a budget of life, as a testament (in fact the poet died two years later).

In 1967 the University of Oxford awarded him an honorary degree.

Struck by a stroke June 14, 1968 Amalfi, where he was presiding over a prize of poetry, died on the car transporting him to Naples.

Barcelona in one day travel period

And Barcelona is gone.
E 'was loooong harder than going to Venice, but it was worth the penalty.
€ 18 aircraft, 1, 30 flight.
of € 21 bus, 70 min travel (90-120 € if I took a taxi or € 100 if I took the rental car, and petrol is cheap there)

Bella. Really
and looking cheerful and festive.
At 9.30 I was in Barcelona (North Station, near the Arc de Triomphe).
We had a nice ride, a really nice tour (see here ).

First, since we were close, we passed under the arch of triumph.
Auffe, none of that, and it's not clear to what were "winning" a monument with no history and no past.

Then we went walking around the Passeig de Gracia, the street of the Eixample, where the architects are satisfied to give vent to their genius.
Here, walking, meet beautiful palaces and the famous Casa Mila and Casa Battlo.

The first was built by Gaudi for The famous "inventors" of the Chupa Chups (whose logo was designed by Dali: it was good, kind).
's beautiful, it seems alive, and the colors and the "chips" They want to remember the dragon slain by St. George.

The second, also known as La Pedrera (the stone), is a fantastic example of how Gaudi hated every line ("I do not exist in nature" used to say).
's beautiful and sinuous, with rails Intricately shaped wrought iron. Top
, the chimneys appear to be strange heads, persons, being told that they have inspired the inventors of the masks of "bad" Star Wars.
It seems that the lack of straight lines is also a prerogative of the interior. As a condominium, the houses had to meet the needs of "practices" of everyday life.
So a lady told Gaudi: "And I'm where I put the piano? There is not a straight wall." So Gaudi, haughtily replies, "Madam, I think you should learn to play the flute."

Between the two buildings, one to mangiatina Cerveceria Catalana, a sandwich Jabugo that although expensive (it costs about 100 euro per kilo) was really fantastic.


Then again walk to the Sagrada Familia, Gaudi's dream or nightmare of the same.
Gaudi died hit by a tram, probably absorbed in thoughts about precisely what was to be his most important work. La Sagrada Familia
was paid for by a conservative group that wanted to be a center of atonement for the sins of the whole city. That bigoted
Gaudi felt so invested in a task "divine" who was obsessed with, so that, when costs became unsustainable and the client group cut funding, Gaudi pay from their own pockets or went around asking everyone.
The whole complex is a hymn to God (and Gaudi was called the 'architect of God ") and the needles are lavoratissima, who said," Why waste time with things that men do not see? " he said, seraphic "will see the angels."
A facade is completely dedicated to the Passion of Christ, the last days of his life and crucifixion.
There is also a "magic square" where the sums of all digits is 33, the year of Christ.
not been created by Gaudi, but by another sculptor who has imposed his style, square, angular, so different from the meandering style of Gaudi.
This style has been criticized: I personally love it.
Inside are advancing the work, and the part under construction is the "forest", a complex maze of columns that should give you an idea of \u200b\u200bthe forest, in fact, also for the way the light filters inside. Unfortunately
in line to climb the spire was far too long (2 hours!) And we had to give up.
council to pass immediately to the Sagrada Familia, in the early morning, if you want to go without waiting for hours.

Outside the Sagrada Familia we went down to the sea, we stopped at the Park of the Citadel to rest and eat a sandwich with Jamon.
Unfortunately, while we flood, drought, there was in Barcelona and then to save water, Cascada (a large fountain, this in the park) was closed.
Going down the route of Picasso (which is an unlikely monument-fountain, a transparent cube with the furniture stuck inside one another), we arrived on the streets of Barceloneta, overlooking the harbor full of boats.

beer, rest, and we went to the Rambla.
Map ago I reported seeing a strange turn ... in fact there is a bridge from the plaza directly in front of the Maremagnum of Christopher Columbus, with a moveable bridge (turn on itself when it needs to pass the boats).
Unfortunately, Google Maps is made for travel by car and on foot. Which, especially in the case of Barcelona, \u200b\u200bis a problem: the city is based on streets intersecting each other, one in one hand and one in another ... in all one-way streets, which cross each other with 5 meters one-way streets, in crosses at 90 degrees ... a nightmare for motorists, almost a cross every 5 seconds, you can not find parking, you have to do everything around the block!

Well, I said ... Beer, rest, and we went to the Rambla.
was about 16, and now the people were everywhere. The Rambla was overflowing with people shopping, street artists to do shows, and thieves to steal.
We saw people in tears by the police, deprived of all the money and documents. Mamma mia.

Going to the Rambla, we stopped at Cathedral really nice, the Gothic Quarter fantastic.

By now it was time to return.
a little before we walked to the bus station, and thank goodness, because there really was a panic and we have not been afraid to get into.

Ok, fine, but really nice.

Sanuk Sandals Washing

Aufff
a brief account of my last week
'm working hard and doing many things
which leaves me little time to write a
writer said that writing is inversely proportional to life more you live the less you write is a matter of space


Today I want to make my appearance-psychotic crews.
The other Saturday and I have made my fourth day in Venice (which you can see the photos in the slideshow).
Departure at 6.15 from Ciampino airport, Ciampino airport to return at 19.45. Santa
Ryan-air! € 40 return, € 9 for parking all day, € 20 for bus from Treviso to Venice. A total of € 35 per person for travel. What
whim! A bit tiring but nice. With a packed lunch, as kid.
Venice is beautiful, I must admit. A little wet, maybe ;-)
Murano I liked even more, honestly: small, quiet, cheerful, colorful.

Three councils.

One: go to Murano to take the 5, not 41. The second stops every two to three, it takes 15 minutes more ... although we have used the time to relax a little, after a morning walk.

Two: Parking "High Altitude", outside Ciampino airport costs € 9 per day. Parking can be booked by calling a couple of days before. Being far away, on foot, the airport, accompany you with a van (to be calculated, in the case of time "hits").

Three: If you start with the hand luggage weighing less than 5 kg, it is best to check in online, you can arrive shortly before departure (we arrived 30 minutes before) and you also have the priority for 'access to the aircraft.

Next Saturday, lunch in Barcelona ... will moooolto harder, but for now it's okay.
In late May, however, three days in Valencia.
And then, in June, I managed to buy tickets for the Italy-Netherlands in Berne, and quarters (if Italy gets there!) In Basle or Vienna.
Switzerland and Austria, wait for us!

Who Sells Ugg Moccasins

Memories of a summer evening

this summer. Corsica. After dinner, sip a beer in a local stone in the square.
few people around, there you go to bed early, not a playboy country.
Next to us two boys, a couple chatting softly. They get up, go away, and there's four guys in their place, two couples. They talk loudly, sit down. Suddenly s'azzittano. I have the
bad habit of looking around, wherever they are. Many that I talk about my attitude probably hate this because I seem not to listen to those who talk to me or I look like someone who does not mind their own business, but is stronger than me, I'm curious and look around.
And I see that the silence of 4 children is accompanied by gestures and strange things said in the ears.

One gets up and goes to the bathroom. And goes back to the parking lot almost shouting "I'm going to take the sweater." And I am ashamed. I'm ashamed for him, I am ashamed because he is Italian.
Why in the meantime I understand ... Following
gestures I understood that he had found his wallet on the chair of the previous guy. He went to the bathroom, took the money and then, lousy coward, went to throw the empty wallet in the parking lot.
caring about a person to leave on vacation without documents or cards.

bleaching, teeth and fists clench, my physical describes my feelings.
ask me what I have, and I tell you.
I read your own anger in your eyes, in your face.
The same capacity for indignation, the same inability to understand these things that makes us a little alien in this world.
And finally I feel you near, in this holiday where you seemed to get away from me.
I get up. Seeking the portfolio. I find it now (the "evil" is so trivial).
I'll take it and take it to the bartender over. I do not try
controversy, give him your wallet and that's it. But he understands the flight of the boys goes to the table and screams "where you said it was the boy's wallet? At this table?".
And I look at you. You almost lucciconi eyes from anger to you, to see them humiliated, it seems (and indeed it is) too little, if I had been more "great" would have crushed them with a slap. I
six seemed even more "wren" at that time.
And that resentment for the injustice in that anger at the bad things, I still wanted more, for my child.



After these thoughts, a greeting to Ylenia, who gave me this sign of esteem for which I thank and salute "virtually", making that made me great pleasure to receive

:-) I, however, turned it over to Emi and Renzo , for a lot of reasons that go beyond what they read in their blog.
