“The present President begs and begs”: A third cento with lines by Elizabeth Bishop

Five times—always five— the present President begs and begs. King George with Queen Mary —which Mary? Aunt Mary?— is like what we imagine, escaping endless intersecting circles littered with old correspondences like an egg of fire inside of a volcano. The music doesn’t quite come through. Useless for

“The blue pharmacy”: A second cento with lines by Elizabeth Bishop

Alarms for the expected are straight from Chirico, already out of style. In the dark environs, somebody loves us all, whatever you believe. Why, why do we feel wasted, wasted, wobbling and wavering, watched through binoculars. Whatever the landscape had of meaning, the dust hid the people’s faces because

“Artlessly rhetorical”: A cento with lines by Elizabeth Bishop

Artlessly rhetorical, Norway’s hare runs south. We must admire this morning’s glitterings. Round and round and round at the same height, a wretched flag tried and tried to confirm it, like a semaphore, the poorest postcard of itself. I want to tell you half is enough. A senseless

When independent #India had refused to join any of the military alliances like #SEATO and #CENTO that U.S. imperialism had formed around the world to encircle the #SovietUnion, but had instead chosen to follow a policy of non-alignment, it had earned the wrath of the U.S. Its then Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles had advanced the dictum “if you are not with us then you are against us”; in accordance with it the U.S. had treated India with hostility.

Imperialism and its bullying of India | MR Online

IT is ironical that on the 78th anniversary of the victory of the Indian people’s struggle against British imperialism, U.S. imperialism is openly bullying India into obeying its diktat.

Pastasciutta Antifascista

provincia di Ferrara, venerdì 25 luglio alle ore 20:00 CEST

Portomaggiore, Comacchio, Codigoro, Goro, Mesola, Argenta, Cento, Pieve di Cento, Copparo e Ferrara sono i luoghi che anche quest'anno ospiteranno, tra il 18 e il 25 di luglio la Pastasciutta Antifascista.

Organizzata come ogni anno da Anpi la Pastasciutta Antifascista nasce il 25 luglio 1943 quando la famiglia Cervi insieme agli altri abitanti di Campegine (Reggio Emilia) offrirono gratuitamente a tutta la cittadinanza, nella piazza del paese, pasta con burro e formaggio per festeggiare la destituzione e l’arresto di Mussolini e la fine di 21 anni di governo fascista.

Fu un grande banchetto collettivo, un momento di pace e di festa in mezzo agli orrori e alle preoccupazioni per la guerra. Da allora in tutta Italia si celebra la Pastasciutta Antifascista, per ricordare quel giorno in cui la pasta condivisa in modo democratico e collettivo diventò un simbolo di unità, libertà, resistenza e speranza.

Il calendario degli appuntamenti con i recapiti per info e prenotazione consigliata:
18 luglio Portomaggiore: senza prenotazione
19 luglio Comacchio: 3389021632
23 luglio Codigoro - Goro - Mesola: 3703129049 / 3497204599
