Pure Genius.<br /><br />And I don't know - I mean, we know the Count gets let off the hook, but who of us hasn't begged for forgiveness only to be rebuffed? Or is it just me?<br /><br />I like this idea of nobility though, and there may be something to the fact that the decline of a particular kind of aristocracy has led to the increasing difficulties of most people to apologize...Andrew W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00071098030747838202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38560481.post-2830724271817868882010-10-09T11:17:27.800-04:002010-10-09T11:17:27.800-04:00(of course the contessa is going to firgive... wh...(of course the contessa is going to firgive... what choice does she really have?)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38560481.post-22064574838598099052010-10-09T11:16:41.714-04:002010-10-09T11:16:41.714-04:00which recording were you just listening to?
thr...which recording were you just listening to? <br /><br />three weeks ago I was in a baroque italiante villa in the north of portugal, walking, at night, in the moonlight, in a boschetto with a just met person, trading quotations from LNdF: i did a pretty good falsetto rendition of<br /><br />L'ho perduta... me meschina...<br />ah, chi sa dove sarà?<br /><br />and forgiveness... well, it's a noble feeling... to be able to forgive you have to have a broad gesture... you almost have to be born a count -- or a countess!<br /><br />otoh, one only begs forgiveness when one knows there is no other way for the other party BUT to forgive! ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
