James Boswell - Alive I Awoke
Loading...
Uploaded by benigerb on Feb 12, 2010
Since this is a particularly difficult moment in my life, and since I can feel my strength slowly draining off me from time to time, here's the time when again my heroes'wisdom most helps me through it all. That's when I turn again to Dr.Samuel Johnson and his faithful chronicler James Boswell, whom sometimes I almost see as a reflection of myself (even if I know I cannot ever aspire to such heights of writing excellence, sigh). But no matter what happens in my life, I find that the Doctor is always right in his assertions and practical philosophy, and that our James is to be forever more blessed for blending it all with his own life experiences for our reading pleasure - and much more than that. So, here's another little tribute to the privileged friendship of these two extraordinary people. How I wish I could have been with you both on a cozy evening in someone's drawing room... thanks for the books and the words.
Song is of course by wonderful Patti Smith - amazing how it fits into the mood!

Caspita, Rossella, non avresti potuto dirmi parole più belle di questo, non sai cosa significa per me... ah, un sorriso di Boswell al mio indirizzo sarebbe il regalo più meraviglioso per una aspirante biografa come me, eheh! Credo che anche Dundee abbia guardato verso di te quando hai postato i tuoi splendidi video... Grazie mille e un abbraccione...
