"Now you, you hills and shores,by Giacomo Leopardi
Although the gleam has gone that from the west
Silvered over the blackness of your night,
Now you will not much longer
Be reft of seeing: over in the east
The sky will turn to white
Quite soon and there will be another dawn;
And then, and following hard upon, the sun
Shooting out all around
Unconquerable flames
Will send those lucid streams
To flood through you and the celestial realms."
Trans. J.G. Nichols
Feeling the summer sun dominate me when I walk outdoors, I truly appreciate the weight of those "unconquerable flames."

Hi!
I am a servant of God on www.prophecyfilm.com and wish to beg you, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to please link to this wonderful site which has free glorious Prophecies & Revelations of Jesus and Mary from Saint Bridget in many languages!
We also have free videos for download on various catholic topics, and maybe hoped that you could tell your visitors and your family and friends! They are a bit further down on the page and are quite interesting. They are extremly good for catholics to strengthen their faith, for protestants to come to the true faith, and for atheists to see the scientific evidence of the Bible that proves God's existance. You are free to copy all videos and books on our site www.prophecyfilm.com to your site if you like them. This can draw lots of brothers and sisters to your site. We know by experience. We hope you also read the revelations and watch our videos personally!
Peace and God bless!
Hi Mark - have you read Leopardi?
