Eravamo 4 amici al bar - We were 4 friends at the bar

We were 4 friends at the bar

He always speaks the MADNESS ...

So, for my gift , the old raves . And yet this old delusional is free from troubles that afflict the wise ; when it comes to drinking , is a cheerful companion ; does not feel the tedium of life, which the age to bear more vigorous effort. Sometimes, as the old Plautus , back to the three famous letters [ AMO ] , that if in retrospect it would be most unfortunate . Instead because of me is happy, nice friends, good friends. Moreover, even in Homer 's speech flows from the mouth of Nestor's sweeter than honey , and love are the words of Achilles ; and, again in Homer, the old men who are sitting together on the walls speak with a soft voice . In this sense are superior to the same childhood, which is delicious yes , but does not speak, and , without the word , lacks the main delight of life , that is to a frank conversation . Add that to the old love these children , and the children just as the old ones, " because God always pushes the like to like." In that differ , in fact, if not in the lines and in the years that the old are more? For the rest, faded hair , toothless mouth , reduced body size , desire for milk, stuttering, garrulity , lack of understanding , forgetfulness , lack of reflection : in short, in every other respect they accord . The more they age , the more resemble children , until, like children, without the tedium of life, without the sense of death , drop out of life.
