Now it is time to begin…
What was my homework, again?
I decided, at least for a while, to follow Goethe’s advice.
Quote of the month.
“One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words.” (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe)
Making a list:
Ö A Little Song
Ö A Poem
Ö A Picture
Ö A Few Reasonable Words
I love songs and I will start with Batuka“Dame Fuego”.

A little analysis.
A song with lyrics already contains a poem, because that is what lyrics are. Lyrics contain a few reasonable words, or so I hope. This particular song is in Spanish, that I don’t speak, but I have an online translator. Translations more often than not are lame or sound quite lame. But I am trying to extract the reason or meaning, or at least remember a few Spanish words.
A word for today.
“Dame fuego, dame el fuego de tu Corazon”
(Give me fire give me the fire of your heart)
One thing is missing – a Picture. Or is it? The video clip is a picture, so homework is done.
Don’t ask me, if I am nuts. Because the answer is… I will give you multiple choice
- Yes
- No
- Maybe
- Does it matter?
- All of the above.
