When love sleepless

Classic conceived of love as a real disease, with corresponding causes, symptoms and treatment. It is believed that among the common symptoms of this syndrome were pallor, fever, loss of appetite, agitation y. .. Yes, insomnia. This whole concept is expressed and documented, of course, literary texts, but it was not only a literary convention, but this conviction in daily life and medical science (and I mentioned this in this article ).

Today modern medicine (and especially the specialty of neurology) has been explained on a more scientific these symptoms of love. It seems the love affair raises the secretion and release in the brain of endogenous drugs, such as phenylethylamine or dopamine, which have physiological effects in the body of the lover. Specifically, the PEA is similar in effect to amphetamine, and as such is responsible for symptoms of love such as tachycardia and sweating, loss of appetite and (what concerns us here) insomnia.
Speaking of insomnia
love, I recently finished reading the book The hundred blows of the young Italian woman Melissa P. ( the novel the film is being currently ). Here the author recounts his experiences erotic-sentimental. A young man in love with her singing a serenade ( is, apparently, a traditional Sicilian song ). Here is the text:

My votu and my rivotu suspirannu,
passu li notti 'senza nteri sonnu,
e li tò biddizzi vaju cuntimplannu,
tipenzu of fine to jornu notti. Pi
non pozzu n'ura ripusari aunt, non havi chiu paci
st'afflittu cori. Lu
vo quannu Sapirie t'aju to lassari? Quannu
finisci e la vita mia mori.

round and round I sighed,
step up all night, staring at your beauty
,
think of you in the overnight.
For you I can not stand even a moment, I have no
serenity, so sad that the heart is.
Want to know when you leave?:
When my life is over and die.

This song (slightly different version) you can see and hear in this video:



In Greco-Roman classical literature is documented very often the topic of insomnia, love, and from Homer. But the central passage significant (in itself, and the subsequent impact it has had) and that moves me most to me is a famous text of Book IV of the Aeneid . Carthaginian queen Dido, in love with Trojan prince Aeneas, aware of the intention of the hero is abandoned, and reveals the anguish of love. Note the contrast between the calmness of the environment and the unhappy love insomnia ( Aeneid 4522-532):

Nox erat et placidum carpebant soporem
corpora fess per terras, et saeua quierant siluaeque
Aequor, cum half considers uoluuntur lapsu,
cum tacet omnis ager, pecudes pictaeque uolucres, 525
quaeque lacus liquids late quaeque aspera Dumisa rural
Tenent, sleepiness positae sub nocte silentio.
at non infelix Phoenissa animi, neque umquam soluitur in sleepiness
529 aut pectore noctem oculisue
530 Accipiter: ingeminant curiae rursusque resurgens
saeuit magnoque love irarum fluctuat aestu.

was night and people, exhausted by
enjoyed pleasant dream land, forests and rough seas at rest,
when stars glide through half its orbit, (525)
silent when the entire field, livestock and colorful birds, animals
living in clear lakes in its entirety
and fields bristling with thorns, lying in the silent night. (529)
In contrast, the Phoenicians, unhappy in his heart, never (530)
gives his eyes to sleep or receives the night in his chest
their troubles grow and love, back again, and fluctuates
rages in the huge waves of his wrath.

Sachi Andrea (1599-1661): Dido abandonée Didon ou sur le crop.

Greetings, and happy dreams (or insomnia).

Diogenes of Sinope was a Greek philosopher of the sect's most famous cynical. He lived in the fourth century BC. It was a very interesting and controversial figure. He lived like a beggar, had minimal requirements, he was sincere with the powerful to the impertinence. He attributed many anecdotes, collected from different sources, especially in the work of philosophers distinguished Lives, written by his namesake, Diogenes Laertius in the third century AD

The curious anecdote from the famous philosopher attributed to concerns to meet with the Emperor Alexander. It is said that while Diogenes in Corinth, he slept in a cask or barrel. Once the city came to Alexander, with his spectacular military. The entire population of Corinth was to meet the emperor, but Diogenes was absolutely indifferent to the trappings of king, and was napping at his barrel. So was Alexander the Great himself, knowing the reputation of the philosopher Diogenes sought. He offered to present him with the gifts that the philosopher requested. But Diogenes asked only one thing: that the emperor to depart, that will not clog up the sun. The episode is narrated or alluded to in numerous ancient Greco-Latin sources, including Cicero ( Tusculanae Disputationes 5.32), Valerius Maximus (4.3.ext.4) and Plutarch (Life of Alexander 14). Here is the fullest account of the three, that of Plutarch in English translation: Gathered

Greeks at the Isthmus, decreed march to Alexander in the war against Persia, made general, and as were many statesmen and philosophers who visited him and gave him the good wishes, hoping that would do the same on Diogenes of Sinope, who lived in Corinth. But he made no account of Alexander, but spent his life quietly in the neighborhood called Craneto, and so Alexander had to go see him. Hallab casually lying in the sun, and having built a little to the arrival of so many characters, stared at Alex. Saluted it, and then asking if it was any thing, "too little," he answered, that you take off the sun. " It is said that Alexander with that sort of contempt was so amazed at such elevation and greatness of mind, which, when removed from there those who accompanied him began to laugh and make fun, he said, "For me not to be Alexander, was willingly Diogenes."

I received today a book acquired by Internet auction site: Ramón de Campoamor, Poetry , Madrid: Talleres Typographical Velasco, 1930.



This anthology contains the poem "The two great things" in Campoamor (belonging to the group of poems Doloras ). This poem tells the story quoted at length:

The two great things

One proud, another lawless
and two are talking.
"I am Alexander the King. Diogenes
"And I can.

"I come to make your life more honest
spiral.
What you want from me? - Yo, nothing
not take away the sun.

"My power ... "It's amazing, but to me nothing
amazes me.
"I can make you happy.
"I know, making me no shadow.

"You'll have riches without measure,
a palace and a canopy.
- What do I want
house larger than this barrel?

- Royal robes will spend
of gold and silk. - Nothing, nothing!
Can not you see me more
shelters patched this layer?
-Rich
devour delicacies.
-Yo with me bread allan.
-Bebo Cyprus tops the gold.
"I drink the water in his hand.

- will send as you send?
- Vanity vain!
What about the miseries as large
call these men?

- My power to those who groan,
help you with glory.
- Glory! layer of the crime;
layer crime without power!

- All land, hateful,
I have ridden with me.
- And you own the world, owning
not you?

- I know that the orb owner
of the world will be happy.
- I know your last dream
be your first rest.

"I impose my arbitrary laws.
- unjust Both coats?
"I've beaten a hundred kings.
- Good Bandit crowns! I can live

-hated,
die but not forgotten.
-Viviré unknown
hated but never die.

- Goodbye! I can not break because of your cynicism
crucible.
- Goodbye! How happy stay,
because I do not take away the sun! -

And as with mutual grievance
a haughty, another implacable,
- Miserable! says the wise king
and says: - Miserable!

The purpose of the meeting between Diogenes and Alexander was also the subject of various iconographic representations, and since ancient times. The following is a marble bas relief ancient times, although its right half (including the figure of Alexander) was restored in the eighteenth century:

The next picture was painted by Italian artist Sebastiano Ricci (1659-1734 ):



drafting this post , I thought I do not want more than what I have: no more money, influence, recognition, professional thrive. Sometimes aspire to, just, to the many poor, gangsters, backbiting, jealous and treacherous that abound in this petty university let me simply in peace, stop doing (me) shadow, I grant, in order the supreme privilege of not cover my sun.
