Each minute bursts in the burning room,
The great globe reels in the solar fire,
Spinning the trivial and unique away.
(How all things flash! How all things flare!)
What am I now that I was then?
May memory restore again and again
The smallest color of the smallest day:
Time is the school in which we learn,
Time is the fire in which we burn.
Calmly We Walk through This April’s Day - Delmore Schwartz

Un bello e orribile
mostro si sferra,
corre gli oceani,
corre la terra:
corusco e fùmido
come i vulcani,
i monti supera,
divora i piani;
sorvola i baratri;
poi si nasconde
per antri incogniti,
per vie profonde;
ed esce; e indomito
di lido in lido
come di turbine
manda il suo grido
Giosuè Carducci - Il treno
Grazie del treno Simona e congratulazioni per la tua laurea.

Happy (almost) cakeday, Smollo, and congrats on graduating! :D
One of my favorites:
Jabberwocky
By Lewis Carroll
’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!”
He took his vorpal sword in hand;
Long time the manxome foe he sought—
So rested he by the Tumtum tree
And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
“And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”
He chortled in his joy.
’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

Crepi ^^
In realtà per ora mi sento soltanto lievemente svuotata, senza più un'obiettivo a breve termine...
Vedremo!

purtroppo posso capire in qualche modo, io ho perso un anno intero dopo la triennale e non è stato un periodo bellissimo.. però in qualche modo ce l'ho fatta e poi quando diventi completamente adulto lo senti, per me è stato bellissimo uscire completamente dalla mentalità dello studente.. dopo cambia ogni prospettiva! andrà benissimo =)

Lo spero! L'ultimo periodo per me è stato piuttosto duro. Dopo praticamente cinque anni perfetti mi sono bloccata per 3-4 mesi sull'ultimo stramaledettissimo esame e ho persino pensato di mollare. Ora come ora, la vivo solo come una liberazione.
Mi dà persino urto il fatto che la mia famiglia voglia festeggiare in grande, quando io vorrei solo arrivare a quel giorno per dire "è fatta".
D'altro canto, mi spaventa l'ignoto del dopo. Speriamo bene.

mi ricordo!! =\ e per questo sono ancora più felice, finalmente hai superato tutto insomma.. e non hai mollato nulla! anche io la vivrei così, e ovviamente non ho detto niente a nessuno così alla discussione c'ero solo io ahah va beh a chi vuoi che importa, altro che festeggiare.. tutti entravano in 200 e io ero l'unico da solo probabilmente dell'intero ateneo xD
non farti spaventare troppo, sei giovanissima e quel che hai fatto all'università è un bagaglio culturale e di capacità oggettivo.. poi non è già scritto dove lavorerai o cosa farai di specifico però sicuramente non troverai difficoltà.. però pensaci dopo! sempre senza fretta, tanto davvero un mese in più o in meno non cambia niente, c'è chi inizia a lavorare a 30 anni e non ha nessun tipo di problema se sa fare quel che gli è chiesto o quel che deve.. buona fortuna ancora =)

Ogni secondo che passa io scopro che si presenterà una persona in più, dannazione.
Voglio morire.
In tutto ciò sto guardandomi in giro per vedere di trovare almeno un tirocinio post laurea, ma mi sembra un'impresa quantomeno proibitiva. Speriamo bene XD

Happy cake day! Congrats on your education achievements. Here is a poem I memorized in 3rd grade:
It was a dark dark day in the middle of night
when two dead boys got up to fight
back to back, they faced one another
pulled out their swords and shot each other
A deaf policeman heard the noise
He went and killed those two dead boys
If you don't believe this lie is true
ask the blind man, he saw it too

Thanks for sharing ^^
Well, it's quite disturbing for a child poem xD
Good luck with the cake-train!

Happy Cake day (in advance?) :)
Don't have a neat poem to share unfortunately since I'm mostly just into graphic novels ~
Hope you enjoying what others have shared and congrats on getting your degree / graduating! Must have been a journey.

Congrats on the double, cake day and graduation. I'm not sure what's more important :P
Poems/poetry is not my thing so I cannot really contribute much to the discussion unfortunately.

Thank you. I'm sure that the cake day is more important, here at least ù-ù

The premise of the Taker story is 'the world belongs to man'. … The premise of the Leaver story is 'man belongs to the world'.
Happy cake day Smollo :D

Wow, you finally did it.
I'm so happy for you that you managed to overcome your lack of motivation. I wasn't sure if you would be able to kick yourself in your cute butt, and yeah you really did it! :D
Well done, Smollo, and you surely can be proud of that!
Congrats on your graduation and happy upcoming Cake Day and many more enjoyable years to come!

Thank you! Right now I'm not feeling really proud of anything, I feel just...free.
I mean, it's over.
I'm a little empty, to be honest.

Hi there, people!
I've been around for nearly a whole year. I won a lot, I gifted what I could and I met some really amazing people.
Also, I managed to get to my MA graduation, finally!
So, here's a celebrative train that will end on my first cakeday here on SG ^^
You'll find also a quote or a poem, I always add something to my giveaways, just to spread a little bit of beauty around.
You know the drill, enjoy and feel free to bump with a poem or a book quote!
