Muta svariate volte nel corso della vita poiché a cambiare siamo prima di tutto noi col nostro orizzonte di desiderio. Definirla quindi non è impresa da poco ma può rivelarsi un’avventura avvincente. Il suo significato infatti apre mille strade e mille orizzonti. Per me è uno stato di estasi per te un momento di inconsapevolezza.

After four years of unspeakable horror and sacrifice on both sides, the Civil War was about to end. On March 4, 1865, at his second inauguration, President Lincoln did not offer the North the victory speech it yearned for; nor did he blame the South solely for the sin of slavery.
