ROMAE, die XXX Octobris, A.D. MMXXVI.
Sol hodie in Urbe Aeterna oritur hora sexta et minutis triginta octo, occidit hora septima decima et minutis novem. Campana “Ave Maria”, secundum horarium Curiae Romanae, pulsabitur hora septima decima et minutis triginta. In ecclesia Sanctissimae Trinitatis Peregrinorum et Convalescentium autem, secundum solis occasum, dimidia hora post occasum solis, id est hora septima decima et minutis triginta novem.
Hodie memoriam recolimus S. Germani, Episcopi Capuani, qui pro unitate Ecclesiae strenue laboravit. S. Gregorius Magnus narrat Sanctum Benedictum animam Germani, ab angelis in globo igneo susceptam, in caelum ascendentem vidisse!
Dum dies autumnales breviores fiunt et tenebrae citius descendunt, meminerimus lucem aeternitatis numquam occidere.
Pace Gulielme!
In me vides languescentem frigore autumnum,
Cum paucae frondes pendent nudis in ramis,
Et choros ventis contremiscentes ramorum,
Ubi quondam aves cantabant dulcibus ludis.
….
A lovely campanile catching the last rays of the sun…
Yes… that is a bear. The tiny church once held the remains of St. Gregory Naziazen.
ACTION SHOT!
A shot in the long corridor outside the “Chamber of Representatives” They call it “transatlantic” because it hearkens to the ocean going passenger ships of yore.

Interim, motus ad lusorem cum militibus nigris pertinent. Scaccus mattus, scilicet mors regis, quattuor in motis veniat.
NB: Detineam explicationes in crastinum, ne vestrae interrumpantur commentationes.
