Sextus molestus
heh...
It was a year ago... so it is vague... but Molestus is annoying or something like that... but it looks and sounds like Molest us. Ah... ya gotta love high school.

I think the rest is literally " this was at the beginning, and ??? and always and in the centuries"
If you really want I'll take out my dictionary and check that 'munct', which doesn't actually resemble to any grammatical form I know... but then, what do I know? Hey could it be 'nunc', which means 'now' ??? I'm sure the version we use nowadays says 'now'.
Until the 60s, the church mass was in Latin here in Italy.
Note on my translation: I remember that 'sicut' means 'like this, in this way'. The rest is basically the same as in Italian :D :D :D : 'in principio' is a normal Italian expression still nowadays :). The final part would read 'e sempre e nei secoli' (we actually say 'nei secoli dei secoli' in the church rituals). And there you see how Latin thankfully lost the cases: not saeculorum but secoli.
End of the lesson of philology.
OH NO YOU DIDN'T!!!! I had so much respect for you five minutes ago!Quote:

Thank's Koa ;)
It is very difficult to beat monty python and their comical genious.
question: is monty python a person or the group of people?
Group, I think... I've only seen Life of Brien.
Ok, random quote back on topic:
'Why learn latin? No-one speaks the language. Sometimes I see some Latin in the newspapers, but thank God, I shall never be a journalist'
-Rimbaud, Le Soleil Etait Encore Chaud.... I got a book of his thingies for Christmas. :D
Heh, ironically, he won quite a few awards in school for translating poems from Latin into French.
Monty Python consists of five british guys and one American. John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam, Michael Palin, Graham Chapman, and the American was Terry Jones. They got together and did "Monty Pythons' flying circus". Notice that the ' is behind the "s", signifying pythons, plural. Each of them refered to themselves individually as "a python."
<hijacking thread to discuss Rimbaud with Abdo>
he really seems like one intrigueing guy, hey? A teenage, bisexual, drug using, heathen genius with a male partner ten years older than him and MARRIED. fascinating ****. I would love to just read about his life, let alone his poetry.
That's kind of a problem to me: I'm sure I'd read all his works voraciously just because his personal life is so interesting, and I don't find it right to be fascinated of someone's work just because of how transgressive (???) his life was... This is why I'm not much into Rimbaud, I just read something not too deeply...I know I'd be influenced in thinking it's cool just because he had a cool life... But I guess that's just me.Quote:

You'd rather he lived a boring life like T. S. Eliot? You want verbal masturbation?
Here's Rimbaud's contribution to verbal masturbation: He wrote the first free-verse poetry. 'Une Saison en Enfer' appeared fifteen years before Mallarmé's 'Un Coup de Dés' (which is usually credited for it). But the thing I like about Rimbaud's poetry more than anything is that it doesn't come off as 'scholarly' or 'bookish', though, he was very well-read in most areas. Plus, he had a wicked sense of humor, in his life and his art. He let his actions inspire his poetry, which is one of those historic anamolies in [*poetry].
What's even more, he quit after five years and fled to Africa.

Jingle bells
Jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun
It is to ride
In a one horse open slay
HAY!
Oh holy night
The stars are brightly
SHIIIIIIIIINING
It is the night
Of our dear saviors
Birth
We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts, we travel afar
Westward Leading
Still proceeding
la la la la la la star
Ok thats getting old now.
done
LOL@kik. Delightful. you're a great singer.
I can't believe Rimbaud quit writing at 19. I mean, what a waste. I probably am inclined to think it's cool just because he had such an interesting life, but at the same time, I also feel inclined to read into it in more depth because of that. yeah, I like the way he writes without any pretension too. Is it just me, or do most people in his life come across as absolute ****s?
