Note: As I am in the process of leaving WIX, the company which hosted this blog until now, some of you may not have been able to access my last post. In fact you still can if you click on this link https://thetowers0.wixsite.com/blog

To launch my new weblog version I have reached back to the words of “The Bard” as we call him in English.

“…Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?

Thou art more lovely and more temperate

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,

And summer’s lease hath all too short a date;

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,

And often is his gold complexion dimm’d;

And every fair from fair sometime declines,

By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm’d;

But thy eternal summer shall not fade,

Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st;

Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade,

When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st:

So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,

 So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616)
