What To Write In The Wedding Guest Book
Switch off feriunt
Tomorrow
just the holidays. We left the beach and return to the inland city. What lazy to pack the luggage, making the return trip, resume normal life. " Tomorrow off the light, shut the door and up another year, if fate and the gods they have. So ... forget it. Tomorrow
leave, as a reminder to my readers, a "souvenir" from here, a picture I took of the beach at sunset:
As a consolation, there's always think that if we are subjected to the cycle of seasons (summer , Winter ...), is ultimately because we are alive. For humans, the phases of the stations are a limited segment repetition, whereas for nature is an infinite loop (or almost). As a child I heard him sing my great grandmother, "Mom Loles"
Christmas Eve is coming, Christmas EveHorace (Odes 4.7.4-16), and before Catullus (poem 5):
goes, and we'll go
and never returned. Something similar had said
Vivamus, mea Lesbia, atque amemus,Kissing, Latin and life for all. And welcome back from vacation.
rumoresque senum severiorum
aestimemus omnes unius assis.
soles occidere redire et possunt: \u200b\u200b
nobis, cum semel occidit brevis lux,
nox est perpetua una dormienda.
da mi basia mille, deinde centum,
dein mille altera, dein secunda centum,
deinde usque altera mille, deinde centum.
dein, cum milia multa fecerimus,
conturbabimus illa, ne sciamus,
aut nequis malus invidere possit,
cum tantum sciat esse basiorum.
Vivamos, Lesbia mía, y amémonos,
y las críticas de los viejos gruñones,
al cuerno todas, al cuerno.
Los soles pueden, sí, ocultarse y nacer:
pero tan pronto se extingue nuestra breve luz,
hemos de dormir una noche eterna.
Dame mil besos, luego ciento,
luego otros mil, luego otros cien,
then when we have reached many thousands,
confuse the figure to lose count, and no evil can
aojarnos,
to know the exact number of kisses.
