Bruno Day 2011

Statue, Campo dei Fiori, Rome.

Giordano Bruno, b. 1548 - d. 17 February 1600

Forth from the womb of darkness,

free and passionate I dart.

I dread no barrier of banished spheres.

I cleave the sky, and other suns behold.

Celestial worlds innumerable I see:

one left, another company appears;

my opinions fail not and my heart is bold

to journey on through all infinity.

- Giordano Bruno
