Venetsia, tutto solo
Pieni kuvakavalkadi ihan vain niille, jotka joka kerta käytyäni Venetsiassa muistavat kertoa minulle kuinka he eivät pidä Venetsiasta, koska se on niin kammottava turistirysä, kuinka siellä ei mahdu kävelemään, kuinka kiinalaiset ja amerikkalaiset ovat vallanneet koko kaupungin loppumattomilla äänekkäillä satapäisillä ryhmillään. Ja ne kamalat haisevat kanaalit, joissa gondoleja on ruuhkaksi asti! Meteliä ja hoilotusta yötä päivää!

"It is the city of mirrors,
the city of mirages,
at once solid and liquid,
at once air and stone."
Erica Jong
“The water you touch in a river is the last of that which has passed, and the first of that which is coming. Thus it is with time present.
Life, if well spent, is long.”
Life, if well spent, is long.”
Leonardo da Vinci
“At the bridge I stood
lately in the brown night.
From afar came a song:
as a golden drop it welled
over the quivering surface.
Gondolas, lights, and music —
drunken it swam out into the twilight.
My soul, a stringed instrument,
sang to itself, invisibly touched,
a secret gondola song,
quivering with iridescent happiness.
— Did anyone listen to it?”
Friedrich Nietzsche
