Thread Name: BS: lost forever
Subject: RE: BS: lost forever
As an italian band pointed out,the Library in sarajevo is a recent huge loss that still makes me cry.Another loss you may not have heard of,is the georgolfili library in Florence .it was a domestic accident.Some bastards made a bomb explode in the middle of the ancient area in Florence,behind the Uffizi gallery,killing five people and destroying the most beautiful gathering of medieval rural knowledge(agricultural tratises,etc...).Beside the fact that paintings in the Gallery went damaged,that architectural problems followed(you can't open a widow anymore there because it might explode and they're too ancient and beautiful to loose them...)all around...

And a greater damage was the feelings following.One night the most scary,loud,tearing sound blasts waking you up.(and bombs have that sound that seems to explode in your head and never get away...)and afterwards there is a lot of pain,fear,and anger-someone ,who knows why,had been able to do that,to destroy a common most precious heritage and to kill two little girls and their family......it takes away your trust in human beings.That is a lost.and it was May,when nature makes you believe everything is happy and beautiful.
