Hello addicted to words! How are you, dear readers? I'm enjoying the last gasp of Easter. Today is a special day for all lovers of reading: It is the day the book! And to celebrate and congratulate all hang this post with this speech so beautiful that he Federico Garcia Lorca at the opening of the library of his town in 1931.
`` Books! Books! Makes a magic word here is to say: love, love, and that they should ask people to pray as bread or as long for rain for their crops. When the famous Russian writer Fyodor Dostoyevsky, the father of the Russian Revolution, was a prisoner in Siberia, far from the world, surrounded by four walls and desolate plains of endless snow, and relief requested in a letter to his distant family just saying `Send me books, books, many books for that my soul does not die!". He was cold and did not require fire, terrible thirst had not asked for water, called books, ie horizons, ie ladders to climb the summit of the mind and heart. Because the physical agony, biological, natural body of a hungry, thirsty or cold, hard, little, very little, but the agony of unsatisfied soul lasts a lifetime.''
Also I leave the Hindu proverb I like both:
An open book is a mind that speaks,
closed, a friend waiting;
forgotten, a forgiving soul,
destroyed, a heart that cries.
So without further qualms I hope you'll have a day glued to your favorite books and enjoy reading with every word, because books, as you said Lorca are elements to quench the agony of the soul.
Happy Book Day!
