Today in class, we discussed two poems, "On the Palentine" and "Building a New Street in the Ancient Quarter" the first poem, I thought, had some beautiful lyrics to it. "And blended pulsing life with lives llong done, till the time seemed fiction, past present, and one" I interpreted it as, eventhough those who have passed are no longer with us, that life, thay joy, that laughter, that pulsing life, will continue to remain in existence in the past and present. On another note, Rick Steve's video was very entertaining. I like how he showed not only places for "educational entertainment" but also other venues such as areas that would be considered night life. I hope that on my trip to Rome, I will be able to experience the culture, what it is like to have been from the time where the now consirered ancient stones, were freshly marbled. I am a big history fan, I read it on my free time or whenever possible, it's funny because I actually did alot of research on the Roman Republic before ever having to have registered for the course. There is never a sense of loss of time in learning when gratification knocks at the door.
