[Poetry] may make us from time to time a little aware of the deeper unnamed feelings which form the substratum of our being, to which we rarely penetrate; for our lives are mostly a constant evasion of ourselves. T.S.Eliot

Viva Verdi
Giuseppe Verdi was born in October 1813. This one, more than usual, is a year of great celebrations. Everywhere (I suppose) there are initiatives ongoing to let the children know one of our Nation's most prominent figures. In our town, primary school children were taught to sing Nabucco's "Va pensiero" (Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves). Needless to write that rehearsal was better than the final exhibition.
