Toglimi il pane, se vuoi,
toglimi l'aria, ma
non togliermi il tuo sorriso.
Non togliermi la rosa,
la lancia che sgrani,
l'acqua che d'improvviso
scoppia nella tua gioia,
la repentina onda
d'argento che ti nasce.
Georges Barbier | Art Déco painter
Born in Nantes France on October 10 1882, Barbier [1882-1932] was 29 years old when he mounted his first exhibition in 1911 and was subsequently swept to the forefront of his profession with commissions to design theatre and ballet costumes, to illustrate books, and to produce haute couture fashion illustrations.
Nicoletta Tomas / Pablo Neruda | Ormai sei mia..
Ormai sei mia. Riposa coi tuo sonno nel mio sonno.
Amore, dolore, affanni, ora devono dormire.
Gira la notte sulle sue ruote invisibili
presso me sei pura come l'ambra addormentata.

Ancient Greek | Legacy
The civilization of ancient Greece has been immensely influential on language, politics, educational systems, philosophy, science, and the arts. It became the Leitkultur of the Roman Empire to the point of marginalizing native Italic traditions. As Horace put it,
Graecia capta ferum victorem cepit et artis / intulit agresti Latio (Epistulae 2.1.156f.)
"Captive Greece took captive her uncivilised conqueror and instilled her arts in rustic Latium".
