'Darkness' by Lord Byron
I had a dream, which was not all a dream.
The bright sun was extinguished, and the stars
Did wander darkling in the eternal space,
Rayless, and pathless, and the icy earth
Swung blind and blackening in the moonless air;
Morn came and went -and came, and brought no day,
And men forgot their passions in the dread
Of this their desolation; and all hearts
Were chilled into a selfish prayer for light;
And they did live by watchfires -and the thrones,
The palaces of crowned kings -the huts,
The habitations of all things which dwell,
Were burnt for beacons; cities were consumed,
And men were gathered round their blazing homes
To look once more into each other's face;
Happy were those which dwelt within the eye
Of the volcanoes, and their mountain-torch;
A fearful hope was all the world contained;
Forests were set on fire -but hour by hour
They fell and faded -and the crackling trunks
Extinguished with a crash -and all was black.
The brows of men by the despairing light
Wore an unearthly aspect, as by fits
The flashes fell upon them: some lay down
And hid their eyes and wept; and some did rest
Their chins upon their clenched hands, and smiled;
And others hurried to and fro, and fed
Their funeral piles with fuel, and looked up
With mad disquietude on the dull sky,
The pall of a past world; and then again
With curses cast them down upon the dust,
And gnashed their teeth and howled; the wild birds shrieked,
And, terrified, did flutter on the ground,
And flap their useless wings; the wildest brutes
Came tame and tremulous; and vipers crawled
And twined themselves among the multitude,
Hissing, but stingless -they were slain for food;
And War, which for a moment was no more,
Did glut himself again; -a meal was bought
With blood, and each sate sullenly apart
Gorging himself in gloom: no love was left;
All earth was but one thought -and that was death,
Immediate and inglorious; and the pang
Of famine fed upon all entrails -men
Died, and their bones were tombless as their flesh;
The meagre by the meagre were devoured,
Even dogs assailed their masters, all save one,
And he was faithful to a corse, and kept
The birds and beasts and famished men at bay,
Till hunger clung them, or the drooping dead
Lured their lank jaws; himself sought out no food,
But with a piteous and perpetual moan,
And a quick desolate cry, licking the hand
Which answered not with a caress -he died.
The crowd was famished by degrees; but two
Of an enormous city did survive,
And they were enemies: they met beside
The dying embers of an altar-place
Where had been heaped a mass of holy things
For an unholy usage: they raked up,
And shivering scraped with their cold skeleton hands
The feeble ashes, and their feeble breath
Blew for a little life, and made a flame
Which was a mockery; then they lifted up
Their eyes as it grew lighter, and beheld
Each other's aspects -saw, and shrieked, and died -
Even of their mutual hideousness they died,
Unknowing who he was upon whose brow
Famine had written Fiend. The world was void,
The populous and the powerful was a lump,
Seasonless, herbless, treeless, manless, lifeless -
A lump of death -a chaos of hard clay.
The rivers, lakes, and ocean all stood still,
And nothing stirred within their silent depths;
Ships sailorless lay rotting on the sea,
And their masts fell down piecemeal; as they dropped
They slept on the abyss without a surge -
The waves were dead; the tides were in their grave,
The Moon, their mistress, had expired before;
The winds were withered in the stagnant air,
And the clouds perished! Darkness had no need
Of aid from them -She was the Universe!
He was so unique, so damn perfect!

Colored Chinese Bangs
"The Blessing"
E 'poetry with which there are "The Flowers of Evil". While the authors were used to invoke the Muses in a good omen for the work to be dialed, Baudelaire, a poet who in fact was cursed, he decided to begin the collection with a poem somewhat uneasy.
I would like to especially on the second quatrain:
" had given birth to a tangle of vipers
rather than feed this derision!
Curse of the ephemeral pleasures
night when my womb conceived this atonement"
verses are just as famous as strong. Though not to love or inneggino other noble sentiments are worth mentioning.

What Does The Bladder Look Like
Flowers of Evil, Charles Baudelaire
Along with "Songs" of Leopard is definitely my favorite book of poetry.
The sharp intelligence and the sublime art of composing the author are what make me more appreciate his art, his "evil" art.
I also reviewed each book of poetry, with a mark attached. It 's definitely be read.

Do Platypuses Have Testicles
Dies Natalis Solis Invicti
The ancient Romans celebrated the joyous December 25th Dies Natalis, that is the birthday of Bacchus, the Invincible Sun, Mithras and other gods of the sun.
Christians of the first four centuries, however, celebrated the birth of Jesus (later became their God), Jan. 6.
Only several centuries later (between 337 and 450 AD), to supplant those of the solar festivals, the Christians moved to December 25 also the birth of their God to take possession of the meaning of Christmas much older politicians who had Christmas, the solstice and the return of the light of the December 25, the birth of Dionysus-Bacchus, the invincible sun, Helios, Mithras.
who do not recognize in the Christian tradition, So do not feel out of place during the holiday season, but also celebrate, with family and friends and the entire Italian community and Western celebrations of the return of light, recognizing them as their own, as a secular or pagan as with all rights of priority over Christian appropriation. Party lay claim as the return of longer days of light, good reason to celebrate.
And in the face to Christians who raise the banner of conservatism, we claim the authentic traditions native to their Roman past and their distorted.
And even the Christmas tree has nothing originally a Christian! The tradition of celebrating trees were typically pagan and harshly condemned already in the Bible. The fir tree then (ex-Roman) is a Nordic tradition, made his usual late by Christians And then more recently "laicizzatasi" almost entirely in general understanding.
Lay react to religious rhetoric but NOT estranged from their own community ', but proudly claiming their roots in tolerance and freedom of thought of the times "pagans."
If we consider (as do even the neo-pagans) that paganism was not a religion but a tolerant attitude towards all modes of thinking and all the traditions, we have no difficulty in preserving our secularism regained full the folklore of joyful our deepest roots.
December 25 Christmas: the day of the rebirth of light: a date is certainly important, as it seems has given birth to many gods!
1. Dionysus or Bacchus, or Free, god of wine and the joy of the orgies of Greece and Rome. There are many similarities between the mysteries of Dionysus (known for 13 centuries before Christ) and the "Christian myth": Dionysus (man who became a god), was revered as a "liberating god" (death) perchéuna descended to the dead time but after several days returned to Earth. It is this ability of resurrection offered its followers the hope of an afterlife through his divine intervention. Also to be admitted to the Dionysian cult was necessary to be baptized, entered the temple and subjected to strict fasting. Another similarity between the cult of Dionysus and that of Jesus is much later in the ritual that involved the 'omofagia (consumption of flesh and blood of an animal, identified with Dionysus himself) as a sign of mystical union with his body and his blood. Dionysus was also closely connected with the life cycles of nature which were tied to the concept of resurrection (spring) and death (fall) as a manifestation of his death and resurrection of the god. Even the symbols of Dionysus: the vine, pomegranate perfectly match the ram (screw and pomegranate) or approximately (Ram - lamb) to the symbols given by Christians to Jesus'. Robert Graves wrote in Greek Myths: "... Dionysus, also known as" the one who is born twice, "once said his cult throughout the world, ascended to heaven and now sits at the right hand of Zeus as one of the Big Twelve"
In addition to Dion, among those born to the winter solstice, there are also;
2. Hercules (Eracles born on 21/12 for the Greeks, but the 1 / 2 to the Romans)
3. Sol Invictus indigete god that is among the deities of the Roman origins more 'old, received more cycles of civilization that is far away' from the Indo-European tradition, identified with Mithra and then even with the Syrian sun god Elio Gabal
4. Elio Gabal (or El Gabal) which became a high priest of the same name (bad) emperor for a short time.
5. Mithras was born in a cave (a rock), under the eyes of the shepherds who worshiped the cult of the military in Rome and then spread to all corners of the empire from the legions (and different from the number 6 Mithra of Persia)
6. Mithra of Persia, born of a virgin, died and rose again (it seems after three days), and different again from no. 7
7. Mitra Indian god of light and day.
Then, still born with the elongation of the daylight hours are still missing:
8. Adonis (or Adonis) of Syria, and perhaps also its corresponding Phrygia,
9. Attys (born of a virgin, died as a sacrifice, and that also resurrects the 25 / 3 at even date, as well as the meaning of the rebirth of vegetation, with the period of Easter) and besides
10. Atargatis in Syria, a great mother goddess, goddess of nature and its rebirth, also called the Roman goddess Derketo and Syria (his feast is on 25 December, almost with certainty as the date of birth).
11. Kybele (or Cybele) goddess of Phrygia, beloved by Adonis (December 25 was celebrated along with Adonis, but that this was regarded as the birth date in this case is uncertain, it is only alleged).
12. Astarte (or Asteroth) Phoenicia, supreme goddess and goddess of fertility and love. Revered by King Solomon in Jerusalem (his feast is on 25 December, almost with certainty as the date of birth). Although it fell into hell and resources.
13. Shamash, the Babylonian sun god Shamash and the Near East, and
14. Dumuzi (aka Tammuz in Babylon), the Sumerian god Dumuzi (aka Tammuz in Babylon) whose periodic death ritual (corresponding to that of Adonis) plant was also to Jewish women (Ezekiel VIII, 14).
15. Baal - Marduk, the supreme god of the Babylonian pantheon.
16. Osiris Egyptian supreme god of death and rebirth of vegetation, and by extension the rebirth of man. The resurrection is the central theme of the Trinity Egyptian myth of Osiris, Isis and Horus from which it seems their inspiration has been taken for later resurrection famous in Jewish circles. Even with winter Osiris dies and is reborn in spring.
17. Horus, the solar falcon god, son of Osiris and Isis, which was a popular triad (along with many other triads of the immensely popular throughout the Mediterranean) was inspired by the unofficial Christian trinity of God the Father, Mary and baby Jesus ', Journal of the Trinity and the group', which excludes the feminine. His birth was celebrated on December 26
18. Ra, the sun god Helios in Egyptian correspondent, whose birth was celebrated Dec. 29 in the city-temple at Heliopolis named after him in the area of \u200b\u200bthe Cairo.
19. Krishna, (currently the most important god in India) that initially appears in the sacred text Mahabarata reincarnated as the father god Vishnu as a heroic man or god, and finally reveals himself as God. He had come to regain the world from demons. (Have you noticed any parallels?). Finally dies Krisna killed (by an arrow, not on the cross), but, rest assured, reborn, too. Among other things, he like Santa Claus brings gifts in the middle of the night! 20-Shin

Some of these 26 have died around the spring equinox (which is the period of Easter) and resurrected after a few days, sometimes just after 3 days, as Jesus (but god Baldur, perhaps more lazy, has risen after forty days).

globular cluster M 107 (NGC 6171)
We know of about 150 globular clusters, ie clusters of old stars that orbit in our galaxy, the Milky Way. This sharp new image of Messier 107, taken with the Wide Field Imager camera at the ESO 2.2-meter telescope at La Silla in Chile, shows the breakdown of one of these globular clusters. The study of these stellar swarms revealed much about the history and evolution of our galaxy of stars.
