give a man who is not made
to his trade
swords to fling and catch again
coins to ring and snatch again
men to harm and cure again
snakes to charm and lure again.
he'll be hurt by his own blade
by his serpents disobeyed
by his clumsiness bewrayed
by the people laughed to scorn...

plangere, latin: to strike, or to lament.
in the depth of winter i finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer.

to be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best night and day to make you like everybody else means to fight the hardest battle any human being can fight and never stop fighting.
