And this morning, awaken to a dead computer I was cursing this idea as a cause. And then I hooked up my daughter's computer and discovered Chiara Matraini, Italian renaissance poet and contemporary (and student) of Plutarch. I asked her, "What do you have to teach me?" and perhaps the process will help me out further. G-r-o-w-l. I am constantly quoting Petrarch to my educator friends (A mind is not a vessel to be filled, it is a fire to be ignited) so... I thought... we will figure this out together. Ignite my fire, beloved Italian friends. I have been CURSING this idea. And this morning, awaken to a dead computer I was cursing this idea as a cause.

Simon Weisenthal

Last lines of Hitler’s Speech to the Reichstag Jan 3oth 1939.
One has to imagine the fist waving and screaming that goes with this speech.

Und es wird die Stunde kommen
It is weird that Shultz is coming
da der boseste Weltfiend
with his best friend Welt
aller zeiten wenigsteins
to the wenigstein’s rave party
veilleich auf ein Jahrtausend seine rolle
turning up without Jarlsberg cheese rolls
ausgspiel harben wird.
now that is truly weird.
