A pleno sol: ROMA, La Ciudad Eterna

Es la primera vez que visito Roma... y espero que no sea la última.
No está todo, pero sí lo imprescindible: botón de muestra.

Pale Blue Eyes by L. Reed

Sometimes I feel so happy,Sometimes I feel so sad.Sometimes I feel so
happy,But mostly you just make me mad.Baby, you just make me
mad.Linger on, your pale blue eyes.Linger on, your pale blue
eyes.Thought of you as my mountain top,Thought of you as my
peak.Thought of you as everything,I've had but couldn't keep.I've
had but couldn't keep.Linger on, your pale blue eyes.Linger on, your
pale blue eyes.If I could make the world as pure and strange as what I
see,I'd put you in the mirror,I put in front of me.I put in front of
me.Linger on, your pale blue eyes.Linger on, your pale blue
eyes.Skip a life completely.Stuff it in a cup.She said, Money is
like us in time,It lies, but can't stand up.Down for you is
up."Linger on, your pale blue eyes.Linger on, your pale blue
eyes.It was good what we did yesterday.And I'd do it once
again.The fact that you are married,Only proves, you're my best
friend.But it's truly, truly a sin.Linger on, your pale blue
eyes.Linger on, your pale blue eyes.

Si... Joseph Rudyard Kipling

Si la obra de tu vida puedes ver destrozada
y sin decir palabra, volverla a comenzar;
o perder en un día la ganancia de ciento
sin un gesto ni un suspiro...

Si puedes ser amante y no estar loco de amor,
si consigues ser fuerte sin dejar de ser tierno,
y sintiéndote odiado, sin odiar a tu vez,
luchar y defenderte...

Si puedes soportar que falseen tus palabras
los pícaros para excitar a los tontos:
y oir cómo sus lenguas falaces te calumnian
sin que tú mismo mientas...

Si puedes seguir digno aunque seas popular;
si consigues ser pueblo y dar consejo a los reyes;
y a todos tus amigos amar como a un hermano
sin que ninguno te absorba...

Si sabes meditar, observar, conocer,
sin llegar a ser nunca destructor o escéptico;
soñar, mas no dejar que el sueño te domine;
pensar, sin ser sólo un pensador...

Si puedes ser severo sin llegar a la cólera;
si puedes ser audaz sin pecar de imprudente;
si consigues ser bueno y logras ser un sabio
sin ser moral ni pedante...

Si alcanzas el triunfo después de la derrota
y acoges con igual calma esas dos mentiras;
si puedes conservar tu valor, tu cabeza
cuando la pierdan otros...

Entonces, los Reyes, los Dioses, la Suerte y la Victoria
serán ya para siempre tus sumisos esclavos
y, lo que vale más que la Gloria y los Reyes:
serás Hombre, hijo mío.
