 Poetic-Verses from ATHANASE

Thumos

 

(θυμός)

« έκ θυμού φιλέειν »

('To love with all one's heart')

 

 

Our hearts beat fast, my Prince, when, beneath the sweet lime tree,

that emerald with a thousand facets cut by Night,

we drank the words chiselled by the genius,

of Alberti, of Manutius, of della Mirandola.

 

Notes:

1. Thumos (Greek): 'heart'

 

2. Leon Battista Alberti (1404-1472), Aldus Manutius (1449-1515), (Giovanni Pico della Mirandola (1463-1494): three of the most famous Italian humanists
