Becuase we don't have to forget to travel...we don't have to forget to dream...

Sorry,
but like usual, I have a lot of nice ideas to upload my blog...but then, the God Time has never been a good allied for me... This means that's very late in the night, and today I hadn't such a easy day...
I promise I'll upload much more tomorrow. (Yes, sure...tomorrow, always tomorrow Martina!) - Oh no, that was my conscious...!!
Anyway, I'm really tired... I just want to copy here some lines of one of my favourite poems: Le Voyage by Baudelaire.
Because...even if during the most harsh moments, please...you don't have to forget to travel, at least with your mind. Never!

Pour l'enfant, amoureux de cartes et d'estampes,
l'univers est égal à son vaste appétit.
Ah! Que le monde est hrand à la clarté des lampes!
Aux yeux du souvenirs que le monde est petit!
(...)
Mais les vrais voyageurs sont ceux-là seuls qui partent
pour partir; coeurs légers, semblables aux ballons,
de leur fatalité jamais ils ne s'écartent,
Et, sans savoir pourquoi, disent toujours: Allons!
(...)
O le pauvre amoureux des pays chimériques!
Faut-il le mettre aux fers, le jeter à la mer,
ce matelot ivrogne, inventeur d'Amérique
dont le mirage rend le gouffre plus amer?
(...)
Faut-il partir partir? rester? Si tu peux rester, reste;
pars, s'il le faut. L'un court, et l'autre se tapit
pour tromper l'ennemi vigilant et funeste,
le Temps! Il est, hélas! des coureurs sans répit.
