(Beatrice) Per un poco pazientò, poi disse:
«A cosa pensi? Rispondimi, poiché in te i tristi ricordi del peccato non sono ancora stati cancellati dall’acqua del Letè».
Dante Alighieri, La Divina Commedia, Purgatorio, canto XXXI

I had my last exam yesterday and I’m not yet fully aware of what this means…
I’VE FINISHED HIGH SCHOOL (with a hell of a 100/100 btw)…
This means FREEDOM, as our sweet Vergil said…
Libertas, quae sera tamen respexit inertem, candidior postquam tondenti barba cadebat, respexit tamen et longo post tempore venit, postquam nos Amaryllis habet, Galatea reliquit.
Vergil, Ecloga I, 27-30
By now all tumblr will have known of my thesis about Miguel de Cervantes’ Don Quijote… Now that it’s finished, I’m publishing the front page of it as a special thank to every one of you who patiently dealt with my flow of posts about how much I loved Cervantes and how much effed up my thesis was!
So here it is: “Don Quixote and the magical devices to avoid death”… Quite proud of the effort I put into this!
Once again, how I love Don Quijote…
