The universe itself is God and the universal outpouring of its soul. --Chrysippus (Quoted by Cicero in De Natura Deorum)
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For Summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells. --To Autumn. by John Keats

As I walk out into the streets, I see the man dressed in red and black. Noble. Brave. But not responsible. No... He hasn't earned that yet. Peter Parker learned those principles early. This man just stops the crime, under any circumstance. Not thinking what will happen.
Something unexpected happened though. A strange alien jumped out of a window. A.... a demon. I feel the heat from under the fake skin that is shown on the outside. It burns like paper, and floats away in the wind. My eyes fall out, and all that's left is the devil's crony. I walk to the thing, and see the man follow after me.
He looks at me, confused, and then looks at the creature again. An interesting mind.
I grab the creature, and drain the liquid organism from his blood. I feel it in me. It's rage. It's feelings.
I quickly burn it in my body. I hear it scream. It pleasures me.
The man in red and black just stares as I do this. The man the creature possessed looked dazed. I raise my hand, and fire surrounds him. He is quickly transported to Hell. The "hero" looks me in the eyes, and leaps at me. I only grab his throat and throw him to the ground. I easily send him to Hell. He's done many unjust things.
I follow them down to the underworld, and find the hero. He tries reasoning with me, saying he's not supposed to be here. Then he argues.
"Who do you think you are?" he asks.
"That's a good question."
It's 1968. One year after the Rider was born. I walk the streets of Washington, waiting for the King to arise. It's April 3rd and the streets are crowded. I walk into Mason Temple, and see the King himself. He's getting ready.
"Thank you very kindly my friends..."
I sit down in one of the booths. I sign with the father, the son, and the holy spirit.
"Something is happening in Memphis..."
A woman sits next to me, and after signing, kneels. She is elderly, in her 80's. She will never see the day where whites and blacks become equal.
"I would see Plato, Aristotle, Socrates...."
She begins to cry. I only stare with blank eyes. Emotion does not come easily to me. She stands up, possibly hoping to see the King himself.
"The Nation is sick."
She walks out of the booth, and through the front door. I sign, and follow, to hear the words, "We want to be free."
Once outside I see her on the steps. She's ready. She's seen death in the face. But so has the King. That's why I'm here. The King was to fall. But this woman.... she was not destined to. Yet, here she was on the steps.
She leans forward, allowing herself to be beat up by the grueling stairs. Men and women rush around me, to see the woman at the edge of the steps. She never touched the ground.
The King comes out of the church, as he is finished with his speech. He sees the woman on the steps, and closes his eyes. He mumbles words, and walks on. He brushes my shoulder, and stops to say his word. I agree it was an accident, and I wish him good fortune. This will not come.
April 4th, 1968 Martin Luther King was assassinated. I was there to show him the steps to heaven.
The speech had gotten to me. "We all want to be free." I wanted freedom. Yet, for years, decades, centuries, I was trapped. While in Mason Temple, I felt free. Free, and with people around me who felt the same. I couldn't even remember my name then. It had been to long, without using it. Who am i?
The hero mumbles more words at me. I just do as I am told, and tell him his destiny. He looks as if he has seen a ghost, and turns to wipe a tear.
I transport him to the world from where he came from, and watch him walk off.
I decided to do the same. Walk away, that is. Discover who I am. Who I was. I started my course, and walked down the steps.

Ye, as you can tell there is a lot of symbolism and themes in here. This is more of my "literature" stories I guess. Oh well.
Fort Frederica National Monument, on St. Simons Island, Georgia, preserves the archaeological remnants of a fort and town built by James Oglethorpe between 1736 and 1748 to protect the southern boundary of the British colony of Georgia from Spanish raids.[4] About 630 British troops were stationed at the fort. A town of up to 500 colonial residents had grown up outside the fort; it was laid out following principles of the Oglethorpe Plan for towns in the Georgia Colony. The town was named Frederica, after Frederick, Prince of Wales, son of King George II. The monument was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 15, 1966.
James Edward Oglethorpe (22 December 1696[– 30 June 1785) was a British general, Member of Parliament, philanthropist, and founder of the colony of Georgia. As a social reformer, he hoped to resettle Britain's poor, especially those in debtors' prisons, in the New World

164. Every individual-personal mania is a usurper, and every mania represents the terroristic feature of the usurped power.
122. Contemporary man - and the man of any age altogether - is nothing other than an identification.
142. The one who is not able to live his life as a constant ascension, which attains its perfection in the period right before death, but from a certain age starts to descend, in reality abuses his life.
143. He who does not strive upwards, descends.
144. He who lets himself be taken by the current, is certain to follow the wrong path.
151. Most people are infantile until about the midpoint of their lives, that is until the age of thirty-six, and immediately after that from one day to another grow senile.
220. The more a creature is a creature, the frailer he is, the more he is subject to attacks, the more he is subject to circumstances, the more he lives in the realm of attractions and repulsions.
224. Man should not ensure reservations of darkness in his life.
162. In the final analysis, man is not subjected to external factors but to his inner psychological states.
163. That which manifests itself as democracy in the world, appears as automatism, whirling associations, distractions and lack of (self)control in consciousness.
164. Every individual-personal mania is a usurper, and every mania represents the terroristic feature of the usurped power.
165. The really negative thing in someone’s raving is not that he is raving, but that in fact it is not him who is raving but something/someone within him.
166. Not only he commits a crime who by losing his self-control commits something, but also he who following from his lack of self-control does nothing.
137. The case when someone ignores essentiality involves not only that the most important thing starts missing but that there can be found something else in its place.
138. Sticking to the only-human leads not to remaining in the human sphere but to becoming sub-human. For persisting in something is to loose it: to loose that which was intended to be retained.
140. If superhuman principles does not stand behind man’s intention of changing himself then he will not remain in the human state but descend to a subhuman condition.
105. The fundamental alienation, the fundamental decline is the personality itself: when I myself am alienated from myself.
305. Antitraditionality is nothing other than the creating of confusion in the relationship between the existent world and the centre of the existent world so as to make it impossible to find the way back to the centre.
653. Emotion is feeling become sick.
[scil. feeling is originally not a displaced state, because man is not the object of feeling, like that of emotion, but he is its subject.]
654. Each emotional state is a kind of obsession.
696. When man turns more and more to the quantitative world rather than himself, then he practically turns to nothing. By losing spirit man kept his soul, which still had some spiritual properties. After this he kept only the body, which still has some pneumatic properties; and slowly he will come to the nothing, which will only have some somatic properties.
707. Death inevitably pertains to life as its complement. Man experiences death to the degree he indulges himself in life, because life contains death.
708. When life is lacking what is beyond life then death, the complement of life, overcomes life.
717. If my identification tends toward the engendered world, I will pass away with the engendered world.
739. An extraneous force dominates all that has a beginning.
740. The loss of beginning is the loss of dominion, the loss of dominion is the loss of the consciousness of beginning and that of origin, i.e. the loss of my ultimate reality as a consciousness.
751. Originally, it was volition that is now instinct in man.
18. The less man has views and the more he has personal interests, the more he is inclined to regard his interests as views.
118. In the highest degree and as a first step man creates his incarnation; then - descending lower - he chooses it; descending even lower he freely accepts it; descending even lower than this he involuntarily takes notice of it: maybe he would like to but cannot avoid it; descending even lower than before he meets it; and finally he unconsciously falls into his incarnation - into that which originally was freely created by him.

………………………………………………………………………………………….
With this photographic story made last year 2022, in the town of Limina, in the province of Messina (I made the previous story in the town of Calatabiano in the province of Catania), of the two typical traditional Sicilian religious feasts that have in common the devotion towards San Filippo, I end with this Saint (with the next two stories, I will take a break, with two topics of a different nature, different from the Sicilian religious feasts); Saint Philip is depicted in "black" color because a legend sees Him as the protagonist of a fight in the Underworld against Lucifer, from whose fight He comes out covered in soot. Saint Philip is a much celebrated saint here in Sicily, but not only that, He is also celebrated in the Salerno area, in Calabria (following the path he took during his life) up to the cult of Him present on the island of Malta. The proximity to Taormina (the country where I live and work), the towns of Calatabiano and Limina, made my task easier, in both towns the traditional feasts, take place over two days; in Limina during the first day the Saint is carried on the shoulders from a church located on the outskirts of the center of the town of Limina to "Murazzo locality", it is about 8 kilometers of uninterrupted running (except for a brief stop for recollection in the locality of "Durbi"), therefore eight days away (the so-called "octave") the Saint comes out carried on his shoulder with an "unbridled-fiendish" run from another church in Limina, arriving after a very steep and very tiring climb up to the top of " Calvario mountain", to then go back down and wander among the districts of the town, (and beyond, up to the district of Durbi, to then return): it is not a question of a simple wandering, in well-established moments, the Saint is "made to dance" with an unbridled coming and going on straight paths alternating with a whirling rotary movement on itself: this is a substantial difference with the float of Calatabiano, the latter is very heavy (about 12 quintals), it follows an impervious path, very steep and steep, with stone "steps" partially missing (the ancient path to reach the Norman castle), the "parody" with the exorcisms performed by the Black Saint, consists in the relative speed impressed on the Saint during the path, instead in Limina, the vara being lighter, allows to devotees rapid, rectilinear and swirling gaits, they too recall the convulsive movements made by the demoniacs subjected to the exorcisms of the Saint (a certain risk of rollover is inherent in both vare). In the town of Calatabiano San Filippo acquires the appellative of "Siriaco", i.e. coming from Syria, while in the town of Limina he acquires the appellation "d'Agira", from the name of the town, in the province of Enna, where He will die: is always the same saint (the physiognomy of the face changes slightly), in both statues the right hand is raised to send a blessing, or to perform an exorcism, the left hand holds a book (it is the "apotropaic" document that gave Him St. Peter to enable Him to defeat the forces of Evil). As in the previous story on San Filippo of Calatabiano, also in this one by Limina, in inserting the photographs I did not use a "chronological criterion" of the two days. Now a few brief notes on the life of this saint, also to try to understand how the cult of him was born in Sicily, but also in other countries. There are two sources that speak of San Filippo, called "the Chronicles of Eusebio d'Agira" and "the Chronicles of Athanasius", these chronicles are largely discordant with each other, except for the descriptions on His characteristics as a priest and miracle worker, on His ability to perform exorcisms by driving out demons from the possessed. He was probably born in Thrace (south-eastern region of the Balkan peninsula in 40 AD (?), at the time it was a Roman province, in the time of Arcadius, Eastern Roman emperor, born of a Syrian father and a Roman mother, in during his childhood he was educated to the principles of Christianity which was spreading also in those lands.He comes from Thrace to Rome, is ordained a priest by Peter, and it is by him that he is sent to Sicily (pagan land under Roman rule), with the task to evangelize those places and perform exorcisms; he disembarked at Capo Faro in Messina starting his mandate immediately, then he traveled along the eastern part of Sicily heading south towards Etna (here Limina and Calatabiano, affected by his passage, thanks to His ability as a healer and exorcist, they become devoted to him); thus he reaches the town of Agira (Enna), where He dies there after forty years of Apostolate on the island.
Con questo racconto fotografico, realizzato in due giornate nel maggio dello scorso anno 2022 nel paese di Limina, in provincia di Messina (il precedente racconto l’ho realizzato nel paese di Calatabiano in provincia di Catania), delle due tipiche feste religiose tradizionali siciliane che hanno in comune la devozione verso San Filippo, termino con questo Santo; Egli viene raffigurato di colore “nero” poiché una leggenda lo vede protagonista di una lotta negli Inferi contro Lucifero, dalla cui lotta ne viene fuori ricoperto di fuliggine. San Filippo è un santo molto festeggiato qui in Sicilia, ma lo è anche nel Salernitano, in Calabria (seguendo il suo percorso fatto in vita) fino ad arrivare al suo culto presente nell’isola di Malta. La vicinanza con Taormina (paese nel quale abito e lavoro), dei paesi di Calatabiano e Limina, mi ha facilitato il compito; in entrambi i paesi le feste si svolgono in due giornate; a Limina durante la prima giornata il Santo viene portato in spalla da una chiesa posta in lieve periferia dal centro del paese di Limina fino “al borgo Murazzo”, sono circa 8 chilometri di corsa ininterrotta (tranne una breve sosta di raccoglimento in località “Durbi”), quindi ad otto giorni di distanza (la cosiddetta “ottava”) il Santo esce portato in spalla con una corsa “sfrenata-indiavolata” da un’altra chiesa di Limina, giungendo dopo una ripidissima e faticosissima salita fino all’apice del “Monte Calvario”, per poi ridiscenderne e girovagare tra i quartieri del paese, (ed oltre, fino alla contrada di Durbi, per poi ritornare): non si tratta di un semplice girovagare, in momenti ben stabiliti, il Santo viene “fatto ballare” con uno sfrenato andirivieni su percorsi rettilinei alternato ad un movimento rotatorio vorticoso su se stesso: questa è una differenza sostanziale con la vara di Calatabiano, quest’ultima è pesantissima (circa 12 quintali), percorre un percorso impervio, molto ripido e scosceso, con “gradoni” in pietra molto alti in parte mancanti (l’antico percorso per giungere al castello Normanno), la “parodia” con gli esorcismi compiuti dal Santo Nero, consiste nella relativa velocità impressa al Santo durante il percorso, invece a Limina, la vara essendo più leggera, consente ai devoti andature rapide, rettilinee e vorticose, anch’essi rievocano i movimenti convulsi compiuti dagli indemoniati sottoposti agli esorcismi del Santo (un certo rischio di capovolgimento è insito in entrambe le vare). Nel paese di Calatabiano San Filippo acquista l’appellativo di “Siriaco”, cioè proveniente dalla Siria, mentre nel paese di Limina Egli acquista l’appellativo “d’Agira”, dal nome del paese, in provincia di Enna, dove egli morirà: è sempre lo stesso santo (cambia un pochino la fisionomia del volto), in entrambe le statue la mano destra è alzata ad inviare una benedizione, oppure ad effettuare un esorcismo, la mano sinistra stringe un libro (è il documento “apotropaico” che gli diede San Pietro, per consentirgli di vincere le forze del Male). Come nel precedente racconto su San Filippo di Calatabiano, anche in questo di Limina, nell’inserire le fotografie non ho utilizzato un “criterio cronologico” delle due giornate. Ora qualche breve cenno sulla vita di questo santo, anche per cercare di capire come nasce il suo culto in Sicilia, ma anche in altri paesi. Le fonti che parlano di San Filippo sono due, chiamate “le Cronache di Eusebio d’Agira” e “le Cronache di Atanasio”, queste cronache tra loro sono in buona parte discordanti, tranne le descrizioni sulle sue caratteristiche di sacerdote e di taumaturgo, sulle sue capacità di compiere esorcismi scacciando i demoni dagli impossessati. Egli nacque probabilmente in Tracia (regione sud-orientale della penisola balcanica nel 40 d.C. (?), all’epoca era una provincia romana, ai tempi d’Arcadio, imperatore romano d’Oriente, nato da padre siriano e da madre romana, nella sua infanzia fu educato ai principi del Cristianesimo che andava propagandosi anche in quelle terre. Egli giunge dalla Tracia a Roma, viene ordinato sacerdote da Pietro, ed è proprio da Lui che viene mandato in Sicilia (terra pagana sotto il dominio Romano), col compito di evangelizzare quei luoghi e compiere esorcismi; sbarca a Capo Faro a Messina iniziando fin da subito il suo mandato, poi percorre la fascia orientale della Sicilia dirigendosi a sud verso l’Etna (ecco che Limina e Calatabiano, interessati dal suo passaggio, grazie alle sue capacità di guaritore ed esorcista, gli divengono devote); giunge così al paese di Agira (Enna), dove lì muore dopo quarant’anni di Apostolato nell’isola.

All art is but imitation of nature.-- Seneca (Letters from a Stoic - Letter LXV: On the First Cause)
The universe itself is God and the universal outpouring of its soul. --Chrysippus (Quoted by Cicero in De Natura Deorum)
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For Summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells. --To Autumn. by John Keats
Paris - Antonio Canova.
Antonio Canova (1 November 1757 – 13 October 1822) was an Italian sculptor who became famous for his marble sculptures that delicately rendered nude flesh. The epitome of the neoclassical style, his work marked a return to classical refinement after the theatrical excesses of Baroque sculpture.
Antonio Canova was born in Possagno, a village of the Republic of Venice situated amid the recesses of the hills of Asolo, where these form the last undulations of the Venetian Alps, as they subside into the plains of Treviso. At three years of age Canova was deprived of both parents, his father dying and his mother remarrying. Their loss, however, was compensated by the tender solicitude and care of his paternal grandfather and grandmother, the latter of whom lived to experience in her turn the kindest personal attention from her grandson, who, when he had the means, gave her an asylum in his house at Rome.
His father and grandfather followed the occupation of stone-cutters or minor statuaries; and it is said that their family had for several ages supplied Possagno with members of that calling. As soon as Canova's hand could hold a pencil, he was initiated into the principles of drawing by his grandfather Pasino. The latter possessed some knowledge both of drawing and of architecture, designed well, and showed considerable taste in the execution of ornamental works. He was greatly attached to his art; and upon his young charge he looked as one who was to perpetuate, not only the family name, but also the family profession.
The early years of Canova were passed in study. The bias of his mind was to sculpture, and the facilities afforded for the gratification of this predilection in the workshop of his grandfather were eagerly improved. In his ninth year he executed two small shrines of Carrara marble, which are still extant. Soon after this period he appears to have been constantly employed under his grandfather. Amongst those who patronized the old man was the patrician family Falier of Venice, and by this means young Canova was first introduced to the senator of that name, who afterwards became his most zealous patron.
Between the younger son, Giuseppe Falier, and the artist a friendship commenced which terminated only with life. The senator Falier was induced to receive him under his immediate protection. It has been related by an Italian writer and since repeated by several biographers, that Canova was indebted to a trivial circumstance - the moulding of a lion in butter - for the warm interest which Falier took in his welfare. The anecdote may or may not be true. By his patron Canova was placed under Bernardi, or, as he is generally called by filiation, Giuseppe Torretto, a sculptor of considerable eminence, who had taken up a temporary residence at Pagnano, one of Asolo's boroughs in the vicinity of the senator's mansion.
This took place whilst Canova was in his thirteenth year; and with Torretto he continued about two years, making in many respects considerable progress. This master returned to Venice, where he soon afterwards died; but by the high terms in which he spoke of his pupil to Falier, the latter was induced to bring the young artist to Venice, whither he accordingly went, and was placed under a nephew of Torretto. With this instructor he continued about a year, studying with the utmost assiduity.
After the termination of this engagement he began to work on his own account, and received from his patron an order for a group, Orpheus and Eurydice. The first figure, which represents Eurydice in flames and smoke, in the act of leaving Hades, was completed towards the close of his sixteenth year. It was highly esteemed by his patron and friends, and the artist was now considered qualified to appear before a public tribunal.
The kindness of some monks supplied him with his first workshop, which was the vacant cell of a monastery. Here for nearly four years he labored with the greatest perseverance and industry. He was also regular in his attendance at the academy, where he carried off several prizes. But he relied far more on the study and imitation of nature. A large portion of his time was also devoted to anatomy, which science was regarded by him as the secret of the art. He likewise frequented places of public amusement, where he carefully studied the expressions and attitudes of the performers. He formed a resolution, which was faithfully adhered to for several years, never to close his eyes at night without having produced some design. Whatever was likely to forward his advancement in sculpture he studied with ardour. On archaeological pursuits he bestowed considerable attention. With ancient and modern history he rendered himself well acquainted and he also began to acquire some of the continental languages.
Three years had now elapsed without any production coming from his chisel. He began, however, to complete the group for his patron, and the Orpheus which followed evinced the great advance he had made. The work was universally applauded, and laid the foundation of his fame. Several groups succeeded this performance, amongst which was that of Daedalus and Icarus, the most celebrated work of his noviciate. The terseness of style and the faithful imitation of nature which characterized them called forth the warmest admiration. His merits and reputation being now generally recognized, his thoughts began to turn from the shores of the Adriatic to the banks of the Tiber, for which he set out at the commencement of his twenty-fourth year.
Before his departure for Rome, his friends had applied to the Venetian senate for a pension, to enable him to pursue his studies without embarrassment. The application was ultimately successful. The stipend amounted to three hundred ducats (about 60 pounds per annum), and was limited to three years. Canova had obtained letters of introduction to the Venetian ambassador, the Cavaliere Zulian, and enlightened and generous protector of the arts, and was received in the most hospitable manner.
His arrival in Rome, on 28 December 1780, marks a new era in his life. It was here he was to perfect himself by a study of the most splendid relics of antiquity, and to put his talents to the severest test by a competition with the living masters of the art. The result was equal to the highest hopes cherished either by himself or by his friends. The work which first established his fame at Rome was Theseus Vanquishing the Minotaur, now in the collections of the Victoria & Albert Museum, in London. The figures are of the heroic size. The victorious Theseus is represented as seated on the lifeless body of the monster. The exhaustion which visibly pervades his whole frame proves the terrible nature of the conflict in which he has been engaged. Simplicity and natural expression had hitherto characterized Canova's style; with these were now united more exalted conceptions of grandeur and of truth. The Theseus was regarded with fervent admiration.
Canova's next undertaking was a monument in honor of Clement XIV; but before he proceeded with it he deemed it necessary to request permission from the Venetian senate, whose servant he considered himself to be, in consideration of the pension. This he solicited, in person, and it was granted. He returned immediately to Rome, and opened his celebrated studio close to the Via del Babuino. He spent about two years of unremitting toil in arranging the design and composing the models for the tomb of the pontiff. After these were completed, other two years were employed in finishing the monument, and it was finally opened to public inspection in 1787. The work, in the opinion of enthusiastic dilettanti, stamped the author as the first artist of modern times.
After five years of incessant labor, he completed another cenotaph, to the memory of Clement XIII, which raised his fame still higher. Works now came rapidly from his chisel. Amongst these is Psyche, with a butterfly, which is placed on the left hand, and held by the wings with the right. This figure, which is intended as a personification of man's immaterial part, is considered as in almost every respect the most faultless and classical of Canova's works. In two different groups, and with opposite expression, the sculptor has represented Cupid with his bride; in the one they are standing, in the other recumbent. These and other works raised his reputation so high that the most flattering offers were sent to him from the Russian court to induce him to remove to St Petersburg, but these were declined, although many of his finest works made their way to the Hermitage Museum. "Italy", says he, in writing of the occurrence to a friend, "Italy is my country - is the country and native soil of the arts. I cannot leave her; my infancy was nurtured here. If my poor talents can be useful in any other land, they must be of some utility to Italy; and ought not her claim to be preferred to all others?"
Numerous works were produced in the years 1795-1797, of which several were repetitions of previous productions. One was the celebrated group representing the Parting of Venus and Adonis. This famous production was sent to Naples. The French Revolution was now extending its shocks over Italy; and Canova sought obscurity and repose in his native Possagno. Thither he retired in 1798, and there he continued for about a year, principally employed in painting, of which art also he had some knowledge. Events in the political world having come to a temporary lull, he returned to Rome; but his health being impaired from arduous application, he took a journey through a part of Germany, in company with his friend Prince Rezzonico. He returned from his travels much improved, and again commenced his labors with vigour and enthusiasm.
The events which marked the life of the artist during the first fifteen years of the period in which he was engaged on the above-mentioned works scarcely merit notice. His mind was entirely absorbed in the labors of his studio, and, with the exception of his journeys to Paris, one to Vienna, and a few short intervals of absence in Florence and other parts of Italy, he never quit Rome. In his own words, "his statues were the sole proofs of his civil existence."
There was, however, another proof, which modesty forbade him to mention, an ever-active benevolence, especially towards artists. In 1815 he was commissioned by the Pope to superintend the transmission from Paris of those works of art which had formerly been conveyed thither under the direction of Napoleon. By his zeal and exertions - for there were many conflicting interests to reconcile - he adjusted the affair in a manner at once creditable to his judgment and fortunate for his country.
In the autumn of this year he gratified a wish he had long entertained of visiting London, where he received the highest tokens of esteem. The artist for whom he showed particular sympathy and regard in London was Benjamin Haydon, who might at the time be counted the sole representative of historical painting there, and whom he especially honored for his championship of the Elgin marbles, then recently transported to England, and ignorantly depreciated by polite connoisseurs. Among Canova's English pupils were sculptors Sir Richard Westmacott and John Gibson.
Canova returned to Rome in the beginning of 1816, with the ransomed spoils of his country's genius. Immediately after, he received several marks of distinction: he was made President of the Accademia di San Luca, the main artistic institution in Rome, and by the hand of the Pope himself his name was inscribed in "the Golden Volume of the Capitol", and he received the title of Marquis of Ischia, with an annual pension of 3000 crowns.
He now contemplated a great work, a colossal statue of Religion. The model filled Italy with admiration; the marble was procured, and the chisel of the sculptor ready to be applied to it, when the jealousy of churchmen as to the site, or some other cause, deprived the country of the projected work. The mind of Canova was inspired with the warmest sense of devotion, and though foiled in this instance he resolved to consecrate a shrine to the cause. In his native village he began to make preparations for erecting a temple which was to contain, not only the above statue, but other works of his own; within its precincts were to repose also the ashes of the founder. Accordingly he repaired to Possagno in 1819. After the foundation-stone of this edifice had been laid, Canova returned to Rome; but every succeeding autumn he continued to visit Possagno, in order to direct the workmen, and encourage them with pecuniary rewards and medals.
In the meantime the vast expenditure exhausted his resources, and compelled him to labor with unceasing assiduity notwithstanding age and disease. During the period which intervened between commencing operations at Possagno and his decease, he executed or finished some of his most striking works. Amongst these were the group Mars and Venus, the colossal figure of Pius VI, the Pietà, the St John, the recumbent Magdalen. The last performance which issued from his hand was a colossal bust of his friend, the Count Cicognara.
In May 1822 he paid a visit to Naples, to superintend the construction of wax moulds for an equestrian statue of the perjured Bourbon king Ferdinand VII. This journey materially injured his health, but he rallied again on his return to Rome. Towards the latter end of the year he paid his annual visit to the place of his birth, when he experienced a relapse. He proceeded to Venice, and expired there at the age of nearly sixty-five. His disease was one which had affected him from an early age, caused by the continual use of carving-tools, producing a depression of the ribs. The most distinguished funeral honors were paid to his remains, which were deposited in the temple at Possagno on 25 October 1822. His heart was interred in a marble pyramid he designed as a mausoleum for the painter Titian in the church of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari in Venice, now a monument to the sculptor.
Among Canova's heroic compositions, his Perseus with the Head of Medusa (photo, right) appeared soon after his return from Germany. The moment of representation is when the hero, flushed with conquest, displays the head of the "snaky Gorgon", whilst the right hand grasps a sword of singular device. By a public decree, this fine work was placed in one of the stanze of the Vatican hitherto reserved for the most precious works of antiquity.
In 1802, at the personal request of Napoleon, Canova returned to Paris to model a bust of the first consul. The artist was entertained with munificence, and various honors were conferred upon him. The statue, which is colossal and entitled Napoleon as Mars the Peacemaker, was not finished till four years after. On the fall of the great emperor, Louis XVIII presented this statue to the British government, by whom it was afterwards given to the Duke of Wellington.
Palamedes, Creugas and Damoxenus, the Combat of Theseus and the Centaur, and Hercules and Lichas may close the class of heroic compositions, although the catalogue might be swelled by the enumeration of various others, such as Hector and Ajax, and the statues of George Washington (commissioned by the State of North Carolina to be displayed in its Capitol Building), King Ferdinand of Naples, and others.
Under the head of compositions of grace and elegance, the statue of Hebe takes the first place in point of date. Four times has the artist embodied in stone the goddess of youth, and each time with some variation. The last one is in the Museum of Forlì, in Italy. The only material improvement, however, is the substitution of a support more suitable to the simplicity of the art. Each of the statues is, in all its details, in expression, attitude and delicacy of finish, strikingly elegant.
The Dancing Nymphs maintain a character similar to that of the Hebe. The Three Graces and the Venus are more elevated. The Awakened Nymph is another work of uncommon beauty. The mother of Napoleon, his consort Maria Louise (as Concord), to model whom the author made a further journey to Paris in 1810, the princess Esterhazy and the muse Polymnia (Elisa Bonaparte) take their place in this class, as do the ideal heads, comprising Corinna, Sappho, Laura, Beatrice and Helen of Troy.
Of the cenotaphs and funeral monuments the most splendid is the monument to the archduchess Archduchess Maria Christina, Duchess of Teschen, consisting of nine figures.
Besides the two for the Roman Pontiffs already mentioned, there is one for Alfieri, another for Emo, a Venetian admiral, and a small model of a cenotaph for Horatio Nelson, besides a great variety of monumental relieves.
A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE MUSEUM
The Metropolitan Museum of Art was founded in 1870 by a group of American citizens – businessmen and financiers as well as leading arists and thinkers of the day – who wanted to create a museum to bring art and art education to the American people.
The Metropolitan's paintings collection also began in 1870, when three private European collections, 174 paintings in all, came to the Museum. A variety of excellent Dutch and Flemish paintings, including works by such artists as Hals and Van Dyck, was supplemented with works by such great European artists as Poussin, Tiepolo, and Guardi.
The collections continued to grow for the rest of the 19th century – upon the death of John Kensett, for example, 38 of his canvases came to the Museum. But it is the 20th century that has seen the Museum's rise to the position of one of the world's great art centers. Some highlights: a work by Renoir entered the Museum as early as 1907 (today the Museum has become one of the world's great repositories of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art)...in 1910 the Metropolitan was the first public institution to accept works of art by Matisse...by 1979 the Museum owned five of the fewer than 40 known Vermeers...the Department of Greek and Roman Art now oversees thousands of objects, including one of the finest collections in glass and silver in the world...The American Wing holds the most comprehensive collection of American art, sculpture, and decorative arts in the world...the Egyptian art collection is the finest outside Cairo...the Islamic art collection is without peer...and so on, through many of the 17 curatorial departments.
In 1880, the Metropolitan Museum moved to its current site in Central Park. The original Gothic-Revival-style building has been greatly expanded in size since then, and the various additions (built as early as 1888) now completely surround the original structure. The present facade and entrance structure along Fifth Avenue were completed in 1926.
A comprehensive architectural plan for the Museum approved in 1971 was completed in 1991. The architects for the project were Kevin Roche John Dinkeloo and Associates, and the overall aim was to make the Museum's collections more accessible to the public, more useful to the scholars and, in general, more interesting and informative to all visitors.
Among the additions to the Museum as part of the master plan are: the Robert Lehman Wing (1975), which houses an extraordinary collection of Old Masters, as well as Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art; the installation in The Sackler Wing of the Temple of Dendur (1978), an Egyptian monument (ca. 15 B.C.) that was given to the United States by Egypt; The American Wing (1980), whose magnificent collection also includes 24 period rooms offering an unparalleled view of American art history and domestic life; The Michael C. Rockefeller Wing (1982) for the display of the arts of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas; the Lila Acheson Wallace Wing (1987), which houses modern art; and the Henry R. Kravis Wing, devoted to European sculpture and decorative arts from the Renaissance to the beginning of the 20th century.
With the building now complete, the Metropolitan Museum continues to refine and reorganize the collections in its existing spaces. In June 1998, the Arts of Korea gallery opened to the public, completing a major suite of galleries – a "museum within the Museum" – devoted to the arts of Asia. In October 1999 the renovated Ancient Near Eastern Galleries reopened. And a complete renovation and reinstallation of the Greek and Roman Galleries is underway: the first phase, The Robert and Renée Belfer Court for early Greek art, opened in June 1996; the New Greek Galleries premiered in April 1999; and in April 2000 the Cypriot Galleries will open to the public.
Antonio Canova (Possagno, 1 de Novembro de 1757 — Veneza, 13 de Outubro de 1822) foi um desenhista, pintor, antiquário e arquiteto italiano, mas é mais lembrado como escultor, desenvolvendo uma carreira longa e produtiva. Seu estilo foi fortemente inspirado na arte da Grécia Antiga, suas obras foram comparadas por seus contemporâneos com a melhor produção da Antiguidade, e foi tido como o maior escultor europeu desde Bernini, sendo celebrado por toda parte. Sua contribuição para a consolidação da arte neoclássica só se compara à do teórico Johann Joachim Winckelmann e à do pintor Jacques-Louis David, mas não foi insensível à influência do Romantismo. Não teve discípulos regulares, mas influenciou a escultura de toda a Europa em sua geração, atraindo inclusive artistas dos Estados Unidos, permanecendo como uma referência ao longo de todo o século XIX especialmente entre os escultores do Academismo. Com a ascensão da estética modernista caiu no esquecimento, mas sua posição prestigiosa foi restabelecida a partir de meados do século XX. Também manteve um continuado interesse na pesquisa arqueológica, foi um colecionador de antiguidades e esforçou-se por evitar que o acervo de arte italiana, antiga ou moderna, fosse disperso por outras coleções do mundo. Considerado por seus contemporâneos um modelo tanto de excelência artística como de conduta pessoal, desenvolveu importante atividade beneficente e de apoio aos jovens artistas. Foi Diretor da Accademia di San Luca em Roma e Inspetor-Geral de Antiguidades e Belas Artes dos estados papais, recebeu diversas condecorações e foi nobilitado pelo papa Pio VII com a outorga do título de Marquês de Ischia.[1][2][3]
ntonio Canova era filho de um escultor de algum mérito, Pietro Canova, que faleceu quando o filho tinha cerca de três anos. Um ano depois sua mãe, Angela Zardo, também o deixou, casando com Francesco Sartori e entregando o menino aos cuidados de seu avô paterno, Passino Canova, também escultor, e de sua tia Caterina Ceccato. Teve um meio-irmão das segundas núpcias de sua mãe, o abade Giovanni Battista Sartori, de quem se tornou amigo íntimo, e que foi seu secretário e executor testamentário. Aparentemente seu avô foi o primeiro a notar seu talento, e assim que Canova pôde segurar um lápis foi iniciado nos segredos do desenho. Sua juventude foi passada em estudos artísticos, mostrando desde cedo predileção pela escultura. Com nove anos já foi capaz de produzir dois pequenos relicários em mármore, que ainda existem, e desde então seu avô o empregou para diversos trabalhos. O avô era patrocinado pela rica família Falier de Veneza, e através dele Canova foi apresentado ao senador Giovanni Falier, que se tornou seu assíduo protetor, e cujo filho Giuseppe se tornou um dos seus mais constantes amigos. Através de Falier, Canova, com cerca de 13 anos, foi colocado sob a orientação de Giuseppe Torretto, um dos mais notáveis escultores do Vêneto em sua geração. Seu estudo foi facilitado pelo acesso que teve a importantes coleções de estatuária antiga, como as mantidas pela Academia de Veneza e pelo colecionador Filippo Farsetti, que foi-lhe útil estabelecendo novos contatos com ricos patronos. Logo suas obras foram elogiadas pela precoce virtuosidade, capacitando-o a receber suas primeiras encomendas, entre elas duas cestas de frutas em mármore para o próprio Farsetti, muito admiradas. A cópia que fez em terracota dos célebres Lutadores Uffizi valeu-lhe o segundo prêmio na Academia.[4][5]
Com a morte de Torretto a continuidade da instrução de Canova foi confiada a Giovanni Ferrari, sobrinho do outro, mas permaneceu com ele apenas um ano. Então, com apenas dezesseis anos, decidiu iniciar o trabalho por conta própria, e logo recebeu de Falier a encomenda para estátuas representando Orfeu e Eurídice. O conjunto, acabado entre 1776-77, resultou tão bem e atraiu tanto aplauso que seus amigos já previam para ele um futuro brilhante.[5] Nele, e em outro grupo importante, representando Dédalo e Ícaro (1778-79), o escultor já mostrava grande maturidade. Seu estilo nessa fase, se tinha um caráter ornamental típico do Rococó, era também vigoroso, e ao mesmo tempo se distinguia da tradição naturalista da arte veneziana e evidenciava uma tendência à idealização que adquirira com seus estudos dos clássicos.[4]
O grande progresso de Canova levou Falier a organizar sua ida para Roma, a fim de que se aperfeiçoasse. Roma nessa época era o mais importante centro de peregrinação cultural da Europa e uma meta obrigatória para qualquer artista que aspirasse à fama. Com sua pletora de monumentos antigos e grandes coleções, numa fase em que estava em pleno andamento a formação do Neoclassicismo, a cidade era toda um grande museu, e oferecia inúmeros exemplares autênticos para estudo em primeira mão da grande produção artística do passado clássico. [4] Antes de sua partida seus amigos conseguiram-lhe uma pensão de 300 ducados anuais, que se manteria por três anos. Também obteve cartas de apresentação para o embaixador veneziano na cidade, o Cavalier Girolamo Zulian, um ilustrado patrono das artes, que o recebeu com grande hospitalidade quando o artista chegou ali em torno de 1779 (Cf. nota: [6]), e providenciou a primeira exibição pública, em sua própria casa, de um trabalho do artista, uma cópia do grupo de Dédalo e Ícaro que mandou vir de Veneza e que suscitou a admiração de quantos a viram. Segundo o relato do conde Leopoldo Cicognara, um de seus primeiros biógrafos, apesar da aprovação unânime da obra Canova sentiu enorme embaraço naquele momento, falando muitas vezes dele anos mais tarde como um dos episódios mais tensos de sua vida. Através de Zulian Canova foi assim introduzido, com um sucesso imediato, na populosa comunidade local de intelectuais, onde brilhavam o arqueólogo Gavin Hamilton, os colecionadores sir William Hamilton e o cardeal Alessandro Albani, e o antiquário e historiador Johann Joachim Winckelmann, o principal mentor do Neoclassicismo, entre tantos outros que partilhavam de seu amor aos clássicos.[5][7]
Em Roma Canova pôde aprofundar o estudo das mais importantes relíquias da Antigüidade, completar sua educação literária, aperfeiçoar sua fluência no francês e colocar-se na competição com os melhores mestres da época.[8] O resultado ficou além de suas próprias expectativas. Sua primeira obra produzida em Roma, patrocinada por Zulian, foi Teseu vencendo o Minotauro (1781), que foi recebida com grande entusiasmo, a ponto de ser declarada como o marco inaugural de uma nova era para as artes. Em seguida esculpiu um pequeno Apolo em ato de coroar a si mesmo (1781-82), para o senador Abondio Rezzonico, uma estátua de Psiquê (1793) para Zulian, e passou a contar com o apoio de Giovanni Volpato, que abriu-lhe outras portas, entre elas a do Vaticano. Nesse período estabeleceu uma ligação tumultuada com a filha de Volpato, Domenica.[9][7]
Sua próxima encomenda, acertada por intermédio de Volpato, foi um monumento fúnebre ao papa Clemente XIV, mas para aceitá-la decidiu pedir permissão ao Senado de Veneza, em consideração à pensão que lhe haviam conseguido. Sendo concedida, fechou sua oficina em Veneza e voltou imediatamente para Roma, onde abriu um novo atelier nas imediações da Via del Babuino, onde os dois anos seguintes foram passados para a conclusão do modelo, e outros dois gastos na realização da obra, que foi finalmente inaugurada em 1787, atraindo o elogio dos maiores críticos da cidade. Durante esse período se engajou paralelamente em projetos menores, alguns baixos-relevos em terracota e uma estátua de Psique. Mais cinco anos foram despendidos na elaboração de um cenotáfio para Clemente XIII, entregue em 1792, que levou sua fama a alturas ainda maiores.[9]
Nos anos seguintes, até o encerramento do século, Canova se aplicou com ingente empenho em produzir um significativo conjunto de novas obras, entre elas vários grupos de Eros e Psiquê, em atitudes diferentes, que lhe valeram um convite para que se instalasse na corte russa, mas declarando sua íntima ligação com a Itália, declinou. Outras foram a Despedida de Vênus e Adônis, o grupo Hércules furioso lançando Licas ao mar, uma estátua de Hebe, e uma primeira versão da Madalena penitente. Mas o esforço foi excessivo para sua saúde, e o uso continuado de um apetrecho de escultura chamado trapano, que comprime o peito, provocou o afundamento de seu esterno. Sentindo-se exausto após tantos anos de atividades intensas e ininterruptas, e em vista da ocupação francesa de Roma em 1798, retirou-se para Possagno, onde aplicou-se à pintura, e logo seguiu em uma excursão de recreio pela Alemanha em companhia de seu amigo o Príncipe Rezzonico. Também passou pela Áustria, onde recebeu a encomenda de um cenotáfio para a arquiduquesa Maria Cristina, filha de Francisco I, que resultou anos mais tarde em uma obra majestosa, a melhor que produziu nesse gênero. Nessa mesma ocasião foi induzido a enviar para a capital austríaca o grupo de Teseu matando o centauro, que havia sido destinado para Milão, e que foi instalado em um templo em estilo grego construído especialmente para esse fim nos jardins do Palácio de Schönbrunn.[9]
Em sua volta a Roma em 1800, revigorado, produziu em poucos meses uma das suas composições mais aclamadas, o Perseu com a cabeça da Medusa (1800-01), inspirado livremente no Apolo Belvedere e julgado digno de ombrear com ele, e que lhe valeu o título de Cavalier, concedido pelo papa. Em 1802 foi convidado por Napoleão Bonaparte para visitar Paris e criar uma estátua sua, e segundo o testemunho de seu irmão, que o acompanhara, o escultor e o estadista mantiveram conversações em um nível de grande franqueza e familiaridade. Também encontrou o pintor Jacques-Louis David, o mais importante dos neoclássicos franceses.[10]
Em 10 de agosto de 1802 o papa Pio VII indicou o artista como Inspetor-Geral das Antiguidades e Belas Artes do Vaticano, posto que conservou até sua morte. Além de ser um reconhecimento de sua obra escultórica, a indicação implicava que ele também era considerado um conhecedor, com a capacidade de julgar a qualidade das obras de arte e um interesse em preservar as coleções papais. Entre as atribuições do cargo estavam a responsabilidade pela emissão de autorizações para escavações arqueológicas e a supervisão dos trabalhos de restauro, aquisição e exportação de antiguidades, além da supervisão sobre a instalação e organização de novos museus nos estados papais. Ele inclusive comprou 80 peças antigas com seus próprios recursos e as doou para os Museus Vaticanos. Entre 1805 e 1814 foi quem decidiu sobre a vinda de todos os artistas bolsistas italianos para aperfeiçoamento em Roma. Em 1810 foi indicado para a presidência da Accademia di San Luca, a mais importante instituição artística da Itália em sua época, e permaneceu como um baluarte de estabilidade na esfera cultural romana ao longo do turbulento período da ocupação francesa, sendo confirmado em suas posições por Napoleão. Sua missão administrativa culminou com a incumbência de resgatar, em 1815, o espólio artístico arrebatado da Itália pelo imperador francês, e por seu zelo e esforço conseguiu resolver o difícil trabalho de acomodar interesses internacionais divergentes e recuperar diversos tesouros para sua pátria, entre eles obras de Rafael Sanzio, o Apolo Belvedere, a Vênus Medici e o Laocoonte.[11][12]
No outono deste ano pôde realizar o sonho há muito acalentado de viajar a Londres, onde foi recebido com grande consideração. Sua viagem tinha dois propósitos primários: agradecer a ajuda que o governo britânico lhe dera da recuperação do acervo italiano confiscado, e conhecer os Mármores de Elgin, um grande conjunto de peças removidas do Partenon de Atenas, criadas por Fídias e seus assistentes, conhecimento que para ele foi uma revelação, contribuindo para confirmar sua impressão de que a arte grega era superior pela qualidade de seu acabamento e pela sua atenção à natureza. Ele também foi solicitado a dar seu parecer de perito sobre a importância do conjunto, que estava sendo posto à venda por Lord Elgin para a Coroa, e expressou-se nos termos mais elogiosos, mas recusou-se a restaurá-las, conforme foi convidado a fazê-lo, considerando que deviam permanecer como testemunhos autênticos da grande arte grega.[13] Voltando a Roma em 1816 com as obras devolvidas pela França, foi recebido em triunfo e recebeu do papa uma pensão de 3 mil escudos, tendo seu nome inscrito no Livro de Ouro do Capitólio com o título de Marquês de Ischia.[3][14]
Então Canova começou a elaborar o projeto para uma outra estátua, monumental, representando a Religião. Não por servilismo, uma vez que era um devoto ardente, mas sua idéia de instalá-la em Roma acabou frustrado mesmo sendo financiado por ele mesmo e estando pronto o modelo em seu tamanho definitivo, que entretanto acabou sendo executado em mármore em tamanho muito reduzido por ordem Lord Brownlow e levado para Londres. Mesmo assim ele decidiu erguer um templo em sua vila natal que conteria aquela escultura conforme seu plano original e outras peças de sua autoria, e nele deveriam, no tempo, repousar suas cinzas. Em 1819 foi lançada a pedra fundamental, e em seguida Canova retornou a Roma, mas a cada outono voltava às obras para acompanhar o seu progresso e instruir os empregados, encorajando-os com recompensas financeiras e medalhas. Mas o empreendimento se revelou excessivamente custoso, e o artista teve de voltar ao trabalho com renovado empenho a despeito de sua idade e doenças. Desta fase são algumas de suas peças mais significativas, como o grupo de Marte e Vênus para a Coroa Inglesa, a estátua colossal de Pio VI, uma Pietà (somente o modelo), outra versão da Madalena penitente. Sua última obra acabada foi um enorme busto de seu amigo o Conde Cicognara.[15]
Em maio de 1822 visitou Nápoles para superintender a construção do modelo para uma estátua eqüestre do Rei Fernando IV de Nápoles, mas o trajeto cobrou caro de sua saúde. Voltando a Roma, recuperou-se, mas em sua visita anual a Possagno já chegou lá doente, e recusando o repouso seu estado piorou. Então foi levado a Veneza, onde faleceu lúcido e serenamente. Suas últimas palavras foram "Anima bella e pura" (alma bela e pura), que pronunciou várias vezes antes de expirar. Testemunhos de amigos presentes em seu transpasse dizem que seu semblante foi adquirindo uma crescente radiância e expressividade, como se estivesse absorvido em uma contemplação extática. A autópsia realizada em seguida revelou uma obstrução do intestino por uma necrose na altura do piloro. Seu funeral, realizado em 25 de outubro de 1822, foi cercado das mais altas honras, entre a comoção de toda a cidade, e os acadêmicos disputaram para carregar seu caixão. Seu corpo foi em seguida sepultado em Possagno e seu coração foi depositado em uma urna de pórfiro mantida na Academia de Veneza. Sua morte gerou luto em toda a Itália, e as homenagens fúnebres ordenadas pelo papa em Roma foram assistidas por representantes de várias casas reais da Europa. No ano seguinte começou a ser erguido um cenotáfio para ele, a partir de um modelo que havia sido criado pelo próprio Canova em 1792 por encomenda de Zulian, originalmente para celebrar o pintor Ticiano, mas que não havia sido realizado. Hoje o monumento pode ser visitado na Basílica de Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari, em Veneza.[15]
Segundo a Memória Biográfica sobre o artista deixada pelo seu amigo íntimo o Conde Cicognara, Canova manteve ao longo de toda sua vida hábitos frugais e uma rotina regular. Acordava cedo e imediatamente começava a trabalhar. Após o almoço costumava retirar-se para um breve repouso. Teve uma doença crônica de estômago que permanece não identificada, que causava dores severas em ataques que se sucederam ao longo de toda sua vida. Parece ter nutrido uma fé religiosa profunda e sincera. Não manteve uma vida social especialmente brilhante, embora fosse constantemente solicitado para frequentar os círculos de personalidades ilustres que o admiravam, mas era comum que recebesse amigos em sua própria casa após sua jornada de trabalho, à noite, quando se revelava um anfitrião de modos finos, inteligente, afável e caloroso. Segundo suas próprias palavras, suas esculturas eram a única prova de sua existência civil. Parece que em duas ocasiões esteve perto de contrair matrimônio, mas permaneceu solteiro por toda a vida. Seu grupo de amigos, porém, era grande e a eles dedicava um afeto intenso e elevado. Não manteve discípulos regulares, mas se notava talento superior em algum artista iniciante não poupava bons conselhos e encorajamento. Muitas vezes apoiou financeiramente jovens promissores e buscou-lhes encomendas. Mesmo sempre às voltas com muito trabalho, não hesitava em abandonar seu atelier assim que fosse chamado por outro artista para dar sua opinião sobre assuntos de arte ou oferecer conselhos técnicos.[16]
Alimentou um perene entusiasmo pelo estudo da arte antiga e pela arqueologia. Gostava da literatura clássica e fazia frequentes leituras, mas de hábito alguém lia para ele enquanto trabalhava. Considerava a leitura de bons autores um recurso indispensável para aperfeiçoamento pessoal e de sua arte. Não foi um escritor, mas manteve profusa correspondência com amigos e intelectuais, onde se evidencia um estilo de escrita claro, simples e vívido, que foi-se refinando ao longo dos anos sem perder sua força e espontaneidade. Uma de suas cartas de 1812 atesta que chegou a pensar em publicar algo sobre sua arte em seus princípios gerais, mas não o concretizou. Contudo, em segredo muitas de suas observações e idéias foram registradas por seu círculo de associados e tornadas públicas mais tarde. Parecia ser imune à inveja, à crítica e à bajulação, e nunca se afligiu com o sucesso alheio; ao contrário, não economizava elogios quando percebia grandeza na obra de seus colegas de ofício, e manifestava gratidão por conselhos ou reparos que julgava justos e apropriados. Quando uma crítica contundente apareceu publicada em um jornal de Nápoles, dissuadiu seus amigos que queriam prover uma réplica, dizendo que seu trabalho se encarregaria de dar a resposta adequada.[17] As relações de Canova com a política de seu tempo são exemplificadas nas obras que criou para a Casa da Áustria e a Casa de Bonaparte, onde os desejos de legitimação e glorificação dos governantes entraram em conflito com a postura politicamente neutra que o escultor desejava manter. Teve obras recusadas ou severamente criticadas por ambas por não se enquadrarem naqueles desejos, como o grupo de Hércules furioso que lança Licas ao mar (1795), rejeitado pelo imperador austríaco, e o mesmo acontecendo com o retrato alegórico que fez para Napoleão como Marte pacificador.[18] Sua opinião a respeito de Napoleão tem sido descrita como ambígua, sendo ao mesmo tempo um admirador, aceitando da sua família várias encomendas, e um crítico, especialmente pela sua invasão da Itália e o confisco de um grande acervo de obras de arte italianas.[19]
Apreciava o sucesso de suas obras e era vivamente grato por isso, mas nunca evidenciou que um desejo de glória pessoal fosse seu objetivo primário, apesar de ter sido um dos artistas de seu tempo mais expostos aos perigos da celebridade, pois recebeu diversas condecorações e a proteção de muitos nobres importantes, foi ele mesmo nobilitado em vários Estados da Europa, incumbido de altos cargos públicos e incluído como membro em muitas academias de arte mesmo sem jamais tê-lo solicitado. Gastou boa parte da fortuna que veio a acumular em obras de caridade, no fomento de associações de classe e no apoio aos jovens artistas. Em várias ocasiões adquiriu com recursos próprios obras de arte para museus públicos e coleções de livros para bibliotecas, não raro fazendo suas doações anonimamente. Também em vários momentos precisou ser alertado para não dissipar seus rendimentos com os problemas alheios.[20][8]
Seu permanente fascínio pela antiguidade clássica fez com que ele acumulasse uma significativa coleção de peças arqueológicas de mármore e terracota. Sua coleção de placas de terracota da Campania era especialmente interessante, embora nunca citada nas suas primeiras biografias. As peças eram em sua maioria fragmentárias, mas muitas estavam íntegras e eram de alta qualidade, e as tipologias que ele preferiu reunir evidenciam que ele estava à frente das tendências museológicas e colecionistas de seu tempo. O seu interesse pelo material estava ligado ao uso da argila para criar os modelos de suas obras em mármore, e ele a preferia antes do que o gesso por ser mais fácil de trabalhar, e a empregava também para a elaboração dos relevos que ele chamava "de recreação privada", onde representava cenas que encontrava em suas leituras de Homero, Virgílio e Platão.[21]
For the last sixty years, car construction has used 'monocoque' principles whereby the chassis and body are built as one strong shell. All the key components such as engine, axles etc are then attached to the shell - the result is a very strong unit with the ability to model exactly how the vehicle's structure will react to an accident or under different handling conditions.
Unfortunately, it's difficult to do this with a bus. Firstly they're far bigger, and secondly their size makes them prone to bumps and scrapes so it needs to be easy to detach external parts and panels for repair. So historically, buses are made as a chassis and then separate bodywork is built on top of it. In the 21st century more car construction techniques are being used, and many buses are built on 'integral' principles, but in general buses are still made on a less hi-tech, robotic basis than cars.
This is a Leyland Olympian for Greater Manchester Transport, at the Northern Counties Motor & Engineering Company factory at Wigan. GMT owned Northern Counties for a while and regarded it as its 'in house' coachbuilder. Most GMT buses were bodied by Northern Counties.
This bus is nearly finished, and the interior is done - you can see the seats through the windows. The next step will be painting into GMT's brown, orange and white colour scheme. The white exterior parts you can see on the bus are fibreglass, while the silver parts are the aluminium panels that are riveted to a strong frame.
One of these buses, GMT bus number 3065, is restored and on display at the Museum of Transport Greater Manchester.If you'd like to know more about the Museum of Transport Greater Manchester and its collection of vintage buses, go to www.gmts.co.uk.

The Epic Seascape! Malibu Sea Caves!
Landscape photography is not only about traveling through space, but it is also about traveling through time. One may return to the same beach time and again throughout the seasons to find a million different universes, changing in an infinitude of manners with each passing wave.
Not only do we voyage outwardly to get the shot, but we travel even further inwardly. While I spend my year trekking along the John Muir Trail, and on through Zion, Yosemite, the Grand Canyon, Death Valley, and the Colorado Plateau, my heart always finds its home in these Malibu sea caves, where I have stood in awe during all hours of the day and night.
Included within are a few shots that only I have so far captured, including a miraculous winter solstice sunrise.
Best wishes throughout the coming year!

www.facebook.com/lightimedimensiontheory/
Via its simple principle of a fourth expanding dimension, LTD Theory provides a unifying, foundational *physical* model underlying relativity, quantum mechanics, time and all its arrows and asymmetries, and the second law of thermodynamics. The detailed diagrams demonstrate that the great mysteries of quantum mechanical nonlocality, entanglement, and probability naturally arise from the very same principle that fosters relativity alongside light's constant velocity, the equivalence of mass and energy, and time dilation.

A little trip I did last week to Burton Mill Pond, the dress is a Principles one and a lovely midi length. The pond is part of a pair which were originally hammer ponds, providing a watercourse for power in the ancient iron working times. It is now used to provide power for a flour mill which is used from time to time for demonstrations (i.e. not a working mill)

The Climatron® is the first geodesic dome to be used as a conservatory, incorporating the principles of R. Buckminster Fuller, inventor of the geodesic system. It opened to the public on October 1, 1960. The design of the Climatron greenhouse was developed by St. Louis architects Murphy and Mackey, winning the 1961 Reynolds Award, an award for architectural excellence in a structure using aluminum. In 1976 it was named one of the 100 most significant architectural achievements in United States history. The term “Climatron” was coined to emphasize the climate-control technology of the greenhouse dome.
The Climatron has no interior support and no columns from floor to ceiling, allowing more light and space per square foot for plants than conventional designs. It rises 70 feet in the center, spans 175 feet in diameter at the base, has 1.3 million cubic feet, and encloses approximately 24,000 square feet (more than half an acre).
The interior of the Climatron is designed on a tropical rain forest theme, highlighting their diversity and ecology. Visitors enter and immediately experience the tropics: dense green foliage, a small native hut, sparkling waterfalls, rocky cliffs, a river aquarium with exotic fish, and a bridge from which the forest canopy and associated plants can be viewed.
More than 2,800 plants, including 1,400 different tropical species, grow inside the Climatron. They include banana, cacao, coffee, many wild-collected plants, orchids, and exotic, rare plants such as the double coconut, which produces the largest seed in the plant kingdom. The lush, green tropical rainforest environment is maintained by a computerized climate control system. Inside temperature ranges from 64°F (18° C) at night to a high of 85°F (29° C) during the day. The average humidity is 85 percent. Plants are watered with reverse osmosis purified, tempered water.
The greenhouse was closed for extensive renovations in 1988. It re-opened in March 1990 with many new features, including new panes of glass and a re-landscaped interior. The old, deteriorated Plexiglas panes were replaced with 2,425 panes of heat-strengthened glass, containing a Saflex plastic interlayer manufactured by Monsanto Company. The inner surface of this glass-and-plastic sandwich is coated with a low-emissivity film. This coating helps reduce heating costs by retaining the solar energy collected during the day for use at night. The new support system for the glazing is rigid and has integral gutters to carry condensation.
A ground-level entrance and energy-conserving automatic doors make the entire Climatron accessible to disabled visitors. The Shoenberg Temperate House hugs the north side of the building.
Rikugien Garden (六義園 Rikugi-en) is a Tokyo metropolitan park in Bunkyō-ku. The name Rikugi-en means Garden of the Six Principles of Poetry which comes from the idea of the six elements in waka poetry while en means garden or park. The park consists of a small pond, trees, and a hill. The traditional Japanese garden within the park is a tourist attraction. (Wikipedia)

The universe itself is God and the universal outpouring of its soul. --Chrysippus (Quoted by Cicero in De Natura Deorum)
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For Summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells. --To Autumn. by John Keats

"A little patience, and we shall see the reign of witches pass over, their spells dissolve, and the people, recovering their true sight, restore their government to its true principles. It is true that in the meantime we are suffering deeply in spirit, and incurring the horrors of a war and long oppressions of enormous public debt. If the game runs sometimes against us at home we must have patience till luck turns, and then we shall have an opportunity of winning back the principles we have lost, for this is a game where principles are at stake." -- Letter from Thomas Jefferson to a friend in 1798 following passage of the Alien and Sedition Acts

ELECTION THEFT 2006 ROUNDUP
Latino voters threatened with arrest in Colorado: Latino voters in Colorado are receiving both automated and live calls warning them that they are ineligble to vote and will be arrested if they try to do so. Voters who receive the calls were first asked to identify their party affiliation, and those who said they were Democrats or independents were told they risked arrest if they tried to vote. One of the callers told 24-year-old Oralia Ramirez, "'You're Hispanic, so you can't vote. You aren’t even registered to vote, so don't waste your time. Just by looking in my records you can't vote.'"
****
Republicans distribute false ballots in Maryland: The Washington Post reports Maryland Republicans are bussing in homeless people, recruited at shelters in nearby states, to hand out inaccurate sample ballots in Prince Georges County. Handed out at four polling sites, the fake ballots identified the Republican candidates as Democrats.
****
The Raw Story reports widespread problems with the vote, "especially in states where close or 'bellwether' elections are taking place." In Colorado, "Latino voters report receiving racially charged, intimidating phone calls warning them that, based on ethnicity, they are inelligible to vote." In Pennsylvania, more complaints were phoned into a voter hotline than in any other state. And in Virginia, calls from a fictitious "Virginia Elections Commision" threatened voters with arrest if they appear at polling places to vote. Raw Story adds: "Voters are advised that, because of their out of state registrations, voting in Virginia is illegal. However, many of the voters who've been harassed have been registered instate for years."
****
More republican violence, this time in Idaho. According to the Associated Press (via TPMmuckraker), an Idaho man was charged with aggravated assault after he pulled a knife and threatened to stab a co-worker while the two were arguing over politics. The assailant, a Republican, pulled the knife after telling his colleague that "Democrats cheat and lie." Apparently he wasn't pleased with the response: "All politicians lie and cheat."
****
More fake republican robo-calls, this time in Nebraska: TPMmuckraker reports voters in Nebraska's 3rd District are getting robo-calls that purport to be from Democratic candidate Scott Kleeb. Kleeb's campaign manager told the local paper that the recordings are of extremely low quality, leading them to believe that they're recordings of earlier, legitimate Kleeb campaign calls. Who's behind the robo-calling? Writes Paul Kiel, "Last week, the NRCC paid GOP political firm Direct Strategies for approximately $3,500 for phone banking in Kleeb's district, according to FEC filings."
****
MoveOn offers reward for voter fraud whistleblowers: The progresive group is offering $250,000 for material evidence leading to a felony conviction of an "organized effort of partisan voter suppression or electronic voting fraud." Send evidence to votingfraud@moveon.org.
****
Ohio polling place will stay open later: A Cuyahoga County judge has ruled that 16 polling sites will remain open until 10 p.m. because of long lines that have prevented people from voting. A judge in Denver, however, denied a similar request.
****
Conservative radio host asks listeners to jam voter protection hotline: ThinkProgress and Firedoglake report that right-wing talk radio host Laura Ingraham is enouraging her listeners to dial into a voter protection hotline en masse in an attempt to jam the line. She reportedly said on the air, "Tell me if you think I’m crazy. This is what I’m thinking. I think we all need to call 1 888 DEM VOTE all at the same time."
****
Did FoxNews canvass for Joe Lieberman?: Ned Lamont's campaign blog reports, "Just heard this story that came from one of our volunteers in Milford [Ct.]… apparently, he was the only person from any campaign pollstanding at a polling place in Milford earlier this morning. All of a sudden, two or three out-of-state vans (accompanied by a Fox News crew) pull up and unload a bunch of Lieberman lawn signs, placed right in front of the Lamont signs that had already been planted. And, what do you know, after a few more minutes, who shows up but Joe himself, ready for the cameras."
****
Latino voters harrassed in Arizona: (from TalkingPointsMemo) Justin Rood reports, "I just spoke with a Latino election monitor in Arizona who said that a trio of men, one with a handgun visible, is harrassing Latino voters as they go to the polls in Tucson, Ariz.
"Nina Perales, a senior poll-watcher for the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund (MALDEF), said that three men are approaching Latino voters and videotaping them on their way to vote at a polling place in Tucson's Iglesia Bautista precinct."
And Paul Kiel reports more Latino harrassment in Colorado.
****
Utah town's stuffed election rolls: The AP reports, "Daggett County has registered 947 voters for Tuesday's election. According to the most recent Census figures, that's four more than the county's population in 2005.
"A spokesman for Attorney General Mark Shurtleff says complaints of vote-stuffing in the county are being investigated. Democrats suspect County Clerk Vickie McKee is letting outsiders swell the Daggett County registration rolls to give Republicans an advantage. The Democrats also say the father of a Republican deputy running for sheriff has 14 adults registered at his household. McKee hasn't responded to messages from The Associated Press."
****
Tobacco and oil pay for phony pro-republican voter guide in Ca.: From ABC News --
[A voter] guide titled "Voter Information for Democrats" features a smiling Sen. Diane Feinstein (D-Calif.) on its cover and urges voters to vote "No" on two ballot propositions that Feinstein and other Democrats actually support. One proposition would increase the tax on cigarettes while the other would create new taxes for the oil industry.
Front groups for corporations, including R.J. Reynolds, Philip Morris, Chevron Corporation, Occidental Oil & Gas and Aera Energy, helped pay for the mailing, according to campaign finance filings.
****
PFAW calls for congressional hearings: Ralph G. Neas of People for the American Way lashed out against the Republican sponsored robocalls: "These voter deception and voter suppression tactics are despicable and unacceptable. Regardless of the outcome of today's elections, the new Congress must investigate these attacks on the integrity of our elections."
****
Virginia Senate: (From TalkingPointsMemo) "The FBI is looking into possible voter intimidation in Virginia's hard-fought U.S. Senate contest between Republican incumbent George Allen and Democrat Jim Webb," reports the Richmond Times-Dispatch. The intimidation -- including threats of arrest -- appeared to be concentrated in heavily Democratic areas. MSNBC has more, available at ThinkProgress. Listen to a recording of the alleged voter suppression call.
****
South Carolina voter attack: A poll worker at the United Auto Workers hall on Fern Valley Road was arrested after he was accused of assaulting a voter, said Lt. Col. Carl Yates, a spokesman for the Jefferson County Sheriffs' Office. The poll worker has been charged with interfering with an election and fourth-degree assault, said Yates, who had not other details.
****
Denver election nightmare: The Denver Post reports that: "Democratic party leaders are planning to seek a two-hour extension for voting in Denver, due to massive computer problems which have created long lines, and kept many from casting their vote." UPDATE: A judge has denied a Democratic request to keep the polls open longer to compensate for long lines.
****
Voting machine problems: The AP reports that there have been voting machine problems in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Utah, Illinois and Florida.
****
Emergency alert system hijacked by republicans: (from DailyKos)
"In an apparent violation of FCC rules, conservative talk radio station KFBK 1530 AM in Sacramento transmitted a paid political advertisement to an unknown number of other stations in the area, using the Federal Emergency Alert System (EAS), thus automatically forcing the ad onto the stations' airwaves. This is according to a press release issued today by KDVS-FM, a non-commercial community station in Davis that received and inadvertently aired the transmission.
****
2nd GOP firm tied to robocalls: (from TalkingPointsMemo) Justin Rood reports that he's found has found a second firm calling voters in another 10 House districts on behalf of the NRCC, Feather, Larson & Syndhorst DCI. Rood reports, "This time around, they have made harrassing phone calls to defeat Democrats Harry Mitchell (in AZ-05), Eric Massa (in NY-29) and Francine Busby (in CA-50). ... In addition to calls against those candidates, Feather Larson was contracted by the NRCC to deploy robo calls against the following Democratic House campaigns:
Tom Hayhurst (IN-03)
Jason Altmire (PA-04)
Nick Lampson (TX-22)
Bruce Braley (IA-01)
Patricia Madrid (NM-01)
Angie Paccione (CO-04)
Joe Courtney (CT-02)

Ralph Waldo Emerson. The happiest man is he who learns from nature the lesson of worship.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca: On entering a temple we assume all signs of reverence. How much more reverent then should we be before the heavenly bodies, the stars, the very nature of God!
John Muir: All the wild world is beautiful, and it matters but little where we go, to highlands or lowlands, woods or plains, on the sea or land or down among the crystals of waves or high in a balloon in the sky; through all the climates, hot or cold, storms and calms, everywhere and always we are in God's eternal beauty and love. So universally true is this, the spot where we chance to be always seems the best.

…………………………………………………………………
This is a photographic story of two traditional Sicilian feasts that have in common the devotion to St. Philip, He is depicted in "black" color because a legend sees him as the protagonist in a fight in the Underworld against Lucifer, from whose fight He came out covered in soot . St. Philip is much celebrated in Sicily, but also in the Salerno area, in Calabria (following a path he made in life) up to Malta. The proximity to "my" Taormina with the towns of Calatabiano and Limina made my task easier, both as regards the feast of Calatabiano (CT), which I present here "on the descent", then eight days later "the ascent" of the Saint, that the feast of Limina (ME), and which I will present next time, “with the Saint taken to the Murazzo village", then eight days later "with the Saint taken up to Calvario mountain”. In the town of Calatabiano St. Philip acquires the appellation of "Siriaco", infact He came from Syria, while in the town of Limina he acquires the appellation "d'Agira", from the name of the town, in the province of Enna, where he will die, but it is always the same Saint. In this story done in Calatabiano (Catania) there are photographs of the "Calata (descent)" and of the "Acchianata (ascent), inserted not using a "chronological criterion", but according to a criterion that I would dare to define as "emotional-dynamic narrative" . Now a few brief notes on the life of this Saint, also to try to understand how the cult of Him was born in these (but also other) countries. There are two sources talking about of St. Philip, called "the Chronicles of Eusebio d'Agira" and "the Chronicles of Athanasius", these chronicles are largely discordant with each other, except for the descriptions on His characteristics as a priest and miracle worker, on His ability to perform exorcisms by driving out demons from the possessed (a metaphor of his latter ability is precisely in the movements of the devotees, who " that make the float dance and pirouette” with the saint at Limina, while in Calatabiano the same meaning is ascribed to the speed imprinted on the heavy float). He was probably born in Thrace (south-eastern region of the Balkan peninsula in 40 AD (?), at the time it was a Roman province, in the time of Arcadius, Eastern Roman emperor, born of a Syrian father and a Roman mother, during his childhood he was educated to the principles of Christianity which was spreading also in those territories. He comes from Thrace to Rome, is ordained a priest by Peter, and He is sent by Him to Sicily (pagan land under Roman rule), with the task of evangelizing those places and to perform exorcisms; He lands at “Capo Faro” in Messina starting His mandate immediately, then He travels the eastern part of Sicily heading south (hence Limina and Calatabiano, affected by his passage, thanks to His abilities as a healer and exorcist , they become devoted to Him); thus he reaches the town of Agira (Enna), where He dies there after forty years of Apostolate on the island. Let's go back to today's times, this "double descent-ascent story", was realized in the month of May of this year 2022, every year (except last two years due to the pandemic) during the Saturday eve of the third Sunday of May, in the church of “SS. Cross to the Castle”, there are the women who take care of the dressing, at dawn on Saturday they go to the church and decorate the float with flowers that will remain until the end of the feast, when the devotees will take them away with them, because they are blessed flowers; the “calata (descent)” comes to life at 18.30 sharp, it is a spectacular descent, certainly not without dangers, complicated both by the very heavy float (13 quintals) bearing the reliquary bust of the Saint supported by the devotees, and by the long and very steep - tortuous - slippery - very steep, path, which is traveled at a brisk pace (every year the greater or lesser speed of the gait is commented on), which foresees a very angled curve along the tormented path, and since in the past in this point the very heavy float skidded until it overturned, killing a young "carrier", since then this point, marked with a small altar, has been called by the popular imagination "death curve" (here the float must be able to make a sharp turn at the end of the steepest and steepest path and which shows all the expertise of the bearers, always with the leader of the float in the lead, who gives orders to his bearers; the float thus reaches the gates of the town, in the place called "of the First Cross", where the race ends here with a brief stop during which the Saint is dressed in gold, then the float is taken to the Mother Church of the town of Calatabiano. The following Sunday, the so-called "octave" (similar to the feast of San Filippo d'Agira of Limina - Messina) the ritual comes back to life, with the bearers who, at 7.00 pm sharp, leave from the Mother Church to go up to the top of Castle Mountain (so called due to the presence of a well-preserved Norman medieval castle), thus bringing the very heavy float back to its Church of the SS. Cross, located immediately below the castle. The "calata" and "l'acchianata" respectively the "descent" and the "ascent", are carried out at a brisk pace (it is not a race, as it is sometimes defined) to echo the vehemence of the Holy Exorcist in casting out demons. The devotees awaiting the descent and ascent crowd the hill above the path, many of them adorn themselves with intertwined ribbons of the three colors red-yellow-green (every year the colors of the bearers' shirts change, reporting each time one of the three colours), these ribbons or "measures" represent the hair of the Saint's beard, in fact legend has it that the young Philip descended into the Underworld to bind the devil with the hair of his beard.
The statue of the Saint is depicted with a book in his left hand, one is led to think that that book is the Gospel, in reality it is a manuscript released to Him by Pope Peter, with an "apotropaic" meaning (which cancels or removes evil influences) to help Him in his mandate in Sicily against the Evil Spirits, instead the raised right hand can have the double meaning of imparting the blessing or the culminating moment in performing an exorcism.
…………………………………………………………….
Questo è un racconto fotografico di due feste tradizionali siciliane che hanno in comune la devozione verso San Filippo, egli viene raffigurato di colore “nero” poiché una leggenda lo vede protagonista di una lotta negli Inferi contro Lucifero, dalla cui lotta ne venne fuori ricoperto di fuliggine. San Filippo è molto festeggiato in Sicilia, ma lo è anche nel salernitano, in Calabria (seguendo un suo percorso fatto in vita) fino ad arrivare al suo culto presente nell’isola di Malta. La vicinanza con la “mia” Taormina coi paesi di Calatabiano e di Limina, mi ha facilitato il compito; la festa di Calatabiano (CT) si svolge in due giornate, la prima viene chiamata “la Calata” (la discesa), poi a otto giorni di distanza c’è “a Acchianata” (la risalita) della vara delSanto, analogamente per la festa di Limina (ME), che presenterò la prossima volta, ci sarà anche li una prima giornata col Santo portato “al borgo Murazzo”, poi a otto giorni di distanza, col Santo portato fino al “Monte Calvario”. Nel paese di Calatabiano San Filippo acquista l’appellativo di “Siriaco”, cioè proveniente dalla Siria, mentre nel paese di Limina Egli acquista l’appellativo “d’Agira”, dal nome del paese, in provincia di Enna, dove egli morirà: è sempre lo stesso santo. In questo attuale racconto fatto a Calatabiano (Catania) vi sono sia le fotografie della “Calata (discesa)” che della “Acchianata (salita), inserite non utilizzando un “criterio cronologico”, ma secondo un criterio che vorrei definire “narrativo emozionale-dinamico”. Ora qualche breve cenno sulla vita di questo santo, anche per cercare di capire come nasce il suo culto in questi (ma anche in altri) paesi. Le fonti che parlano di San Filippo sono due, chiamate “le Cronache di Eusebio d’Agira” e “le Cronache di Atanasio”, queste cronache tra loro sono in buona parte discordanti, tranne le descrizioni sulle sue caratteristiche di sacerdote e di taumaturgo, sulle sue capacità di compiere esorcismi scacciando i demoni dagli impossessati (su quest’ultima sua capacità una metafora è proprio nelle movenze dei devoti, che “fanno ballare-piroettare” la vara col santo a Limina, mentre lo stesso significato a Calatabiano è legato alla velocità impressa alla pesante vara). Egli nacque probabilmente in Tracia (regione sud-orientale della penisola balcanica nel 40 d.C. (?), all’epoca era una provincia romana, ai tempi d’Arcadio, imperatore romano d’Oriente, nato da padre siriano e da madre romana, nella sua infanzia fu educato ai principi del Cristianesimo che andava propagandosi anche in quelle terre. Egli giunge dalla Tracia a Roma, viene ordinato sacerdote da Pietro, ed è proprio da Lui che viene mandato in Sicilia (terra pagana sotto il dominio Romano), col compito di evangelizzare quei luoghi e compiere esorcismi; sbarca a Capo Faro a Messina iniziando fin da subito il suo mandato, poi percorre la fascia orientale della Sicilia dirigendosi a sud verso l’Etna (ecco che Limina e Calatabiano, interessati dal suo passaggio, grazie alle sue capacità di guaritore ed esorcista, gli divengono devoti); giunge così al paese di Agira (Enna), dove lì muore dopo quarant’anni di Apostolato nell’isola. Torniamo ai tempi odierni, questo “doppio racconto discesa-risalita”, è stato realizzato nel mese di maggio di quest’anno, ogni anno (ad eccezione della pandemia che ha fermato questa tradizione per due anni), durante il sabato vigilia della terza domenica di Maggio, nella chiesa del SS. Crocifisso al Castello, la mattina le donne salgono per adornare con fiori la vara, i cui fiori alla fine della tradizionale discesa e poi quando avverrà la risalita, vengono presi dai devoti poiché sono fiori benedetti; alle 18,30 in punto del sabato, dopo che sono stati sparati “tre colpi a cannone” inizia l’avventurosissima “Calata”, si tratta di una spettacolare discesa, non certo esente da pericoli, complicata sia dal pesantissimo fercolo (13 quintali) recante il busto reliquiario del Santo sostenuto dai devoti, sia dal lungo e ripidissimo, tortuoso, scivoloso, molto scosceso, sentiero, che viene percorso a passo molto sostenuto (ogni anno viene commentata la maggiore o minore velocità dell'andatura), che prevede lungo il tormentato percorso una curva molto angolata, e poiché in passato in questo punto la pesantissima vara sbandò fino a ribaltarsi, uccidendo un giovane “portatore”, da allora questo punto, segnato con un piccolo altare, viene chiamato dalla fantasia popolare “curva della morte” (qui la vara deve poter compiere una brusca virata al termine del percorso più ripido e scosceso e che mostra tutta la perizia dei portatori, con sempre in testa il capovara, che impartisce ordini ai suoi portatori; la vara giunge così alle porte del paese, nel luogo denominato "della Prima Croce", ove qui la corsa termina con una breve sosta durante la quale il Santo viene vestito con oro, poi il fercolo viene portato alla Chiesa Madre del paese di Calatabiano. La domenica successiva, la cosiddetta "ottava", riprende vita il rito, coi portatori che, alle 19,00 in punto partono dalla Chiesa Madre per risalire fin sopra al Monte Castello (così chiamato per la presenza di un ben conservato castello medioevale Normanno), riportando così il pesantissimo fercolo nella sua Chiesa del SS. Crocifisso, ubicata subito sotto il castello. I devoti in attesa della discesa e della risalita, si assiepano numerosissimi sulla collina sovrastante il percorso, moltissimi di loro si adornano con dei nastrini intrecciati dei tre colori rosso-giallo-verde (ogni anno i colori delle magliette dei portatori cambiano, riportando ogni volta uno dei tre colori), tali nastrini o "misure" rappresentano i peli della barba del Santo, infatti la leggenda narra che il giovane Filippo discese negli Inferi per legare il demonio coi peli della sua barba.
La statua del Santo viene raffigurata con un libro nella mano sinistra, si è portati a pensare che quel libro sia il Vangelo, in realtà è un manoscritto rilasciatogli dal Papa Pietro, dal significato "apotropaico" (che annulla o allontana gli influssi maligni) per aiutarlo nel suo mandato in Sicilia contro gli Spiriti Demoniaci, invece la mano destra alzata può avere il doppio significato di chi imparte la benedizione oppure il momento culminante di chi esegue un esorcismo nel momento in cui scaccia via il Maligno.

Did you know that John Muir, Thoreau, and Emerson all loved epic poetry and poets including Shakespeare, Milton, Homer, and Robert Burns?
I recently finished my fourth book on Light Time Dimension Theory, much of which was inspired by an autumn trip to Zion!
www.facebook.com/lightimedimensiontheory/
Via its simple principle of a fourth expanding dimension, LTD Theory provides a unifying, foundational *physical* model underlying relativity, quantum mechanics, time and all its arrows and asymmetries, and the second law of thermodynamics. The detailed diagrams demonstrate that the great mysteries of quantum mechanical nonlocality, entanglement, and probability naturally arise from the very same principle that fosters relativity alongside light's constant velocity, the equivalence of mass and energy, and time dilation.

Hated Principles
Faith interests me because of the way it is able to enrapture an individual. Faith can be detrimental or a savior, depending on how it is used and taught. There is a level of absoluteness required to practice faith, however I do see careful balances between science and faith and it is in those instances that I most admire all that faith can bring. During my internship this summer, my boss was a renowned physicist but believed that a creator enabled him to formulate his ideas and theories. Almost 80 years old, much of his daily life was regimented as well as balanced and this gave him the strength and stamina to continue towards achieving his goals.
Colour is one of the key design principles for me. It might surprise you, because if you've been around here for a while then you'll know I love muted colours, but just because a colour palette is muted doesn't mean it isn't impactful. Muted colours speak to me, stop me scrolling and give me that emotional response I desire from creativity. And it is that emotional connection that I'm always seeking out. With Winter around the corner, icy colours especially blues are a given. However, by adding a touch of warmth with the kraft card then you have a contrast between the icy blues. Also, anything which includes kraft nods to the handmade, homely feel. So those colours paired with the white for simplicity tell their own story to me.

All art is but imitation of nature.-- Seneca (Letters from a Stoic - Letter LXV: On the First Cause)
The universe itself is God and the universal outpouring of its soul. --Chrysippus (Quoted by Cicero in De Natura Deorum)
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For Summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells. --To Autumn. by John Keats
