@MuseuTransport Perdoneu, però no trobo adjectius per a aquesta impresentable despersonalització del que dona caràcter a la ciutat. No pensava que es toqués la Rambla!

[Coordinadora Pro Museu Transport de Barcelona @MuseuTransport]

En verd: el fanal clàssic de la Rambla que l'ajuntament ha eliminat afirmant que són còpies i que "els tenen en custòdia buscant un lloc emblemàtic". En vermell: el model "multiusos" que han deixat. Mentrestant, a les lones de les obres hi llegim: "RespecteMMMM la història".

Ens ha deixat la Margalida Capellà. Un referent per a mi i per a tots els professors de clàssiques de Catalunya per la seva passió i professionalitat en la docència. Amb ella vam engegar molts projectes, com l'@AplecClassiques i tants d'altres. Ens queda el teu llegat. T'enyoraré

I often had him in mind when I walked the streets. He was so very present.

It was just simply that his chair was empty, so to speak.

He does live and reign, very much.

Now tired men throw back the shutters of their balconies and step blinking into the pale hot light — etiolated flowers of afternoons spent in anguish, tossing upon ugly beds, bandaged by dreams.

Softly every night
The great horned branch of heaven rises
With its blossoms white

And time bleeds in us like a wound. . . .

[Néstor F. Marqués - Antigua Roma al Día @antigua_roma]

Ya vienen los reyes...

Este mosaico del s. VI de los magos conservado en la iglesia de San Apolinar de Rávena tiene mucho que contarnos.

El origen de los reyes magos está en este y otros restos que conservamos de la antigua Roma. ¡Vamos a descubrirlos! #HiloRomano

[Aris Roussinos @arisroussinos]

Never ceases to amaze that Cavafy spoke Greek with a soft Liverpool accent, the result of his childhood in what was then an Egypt-dependent Lancashire cotton industry

[Durrell Society @DurrellSociety]

What is to be done? Generally speaking, nothing.

The dead will have to bury their dead. . . . Try to hold fast to the living thing, which destroys as it goes, but remains sweet. Retreat to the desert, and fight.

— D. H. Lawrence, St. Mawr (1925)

Melancholy, I went out onto the balcony —
I went out so I might clear my head by seeing at least
a little of this city that I love,
a little movement in the street and in the shops.

— Cavafy

@Didachurting @La_Magrana Un plaer saber que es llegeix aquesta traducció, que ja té un quants anys. Els llibrets taronges originals almenys tenen un índex que fa possible trobar els mites. En edicions posteriors es va suprimir l‘índex de mites i no hi ha manera de trobar res sense llegir-ho tot.

[Josep M. Badia @josepmbadia1968]

Potser no us ho creureu, @ferran_aguilera, però hi va haver una època en què grups de nois de vint anys componien cançons sobre "Les Metamorfosis" d'Ovidi...
