Purgatorio X, on the angelic butterfly (angelica farfalla) that flies into judgment without defenses.TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-45678468131191547282010-05-04T07:47:35.935-07:002010-05-04T07:47:35.935-07:00Yes, we could go on and on reading/hearing this. ....Yes, we could go on and on reading/hearing this. . . .STEPHEN RATCLIFFEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12339481653546188412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-27656161008843599762010-05-04T06:22:00.503-07:002010-05-04T06:22:00.503-07:00such a good one.
