Ombra Mai Fu
Ombra mai fù
- di vegetabile,
- cara ed amabile,
- soave più.
- A shadow never was
- of any plant,
- more dear and lovely,
- more gentle.

Christ vs Apollon
"There is something about the entire crucifixional tradition that strikes me as a mean, as backward, as medieval in the worst sense... Greece provided a better civilizational idea than Judeo-Christianity... Hellenism as an alternative to Christianity... was the sole vision of the good life... When Hellenism failed... humanism went bankrupt."
""Whenever I shut my eyes I see Jesus on the cross." [Her son David, 4 years old]
It's time for Homer, I think. The best way to divert these morbid individualized religious fancies is to overwhelm them by the impersonal Homeric bloodbath."
