"Life was to him like strong, white light that hurts the tired eyes of a sick person"--Martin Eden
"Lord, if your world is full of sin, I want to sin. Let the birds nest in my hair"--Smiles of a Summer Night
"I'm an honest old rattlesnake. Be warned"--ibid.
"You're a boring, normal person and I'm a great artist"--ibid.
The weather was damp, cool and gloomy so in the afternoon we watched the DVD of Ingmar Bergman's comedy Smiles of a Summer Night. It's one of the sexiest movies I've ever seen!
Dinner was spaghetti.
The choir rehearsed tonight [Friday] because Monday was a holiday. We did a new song "La Madre dell' Alpino."
Finished Martin Eden. A wonderful book, with a convincing portrait of burnout.
