nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita

Alcoholic Architect is proud to welcome a new contributor/mixologist to the blog. And what better person to have than Paolo Malatesta. For those who have read Dante, its rather befitting that Guido (yours truly) & Paolo are back together again. Although, this time I hope there wouldn't be bloodshed for Francesca's love. Unless of course, Francesca decides to orbit our lives once again! Good God, I hope not.

As interesting as affairs can be, what's more fascinating is
that La Divinia Commedia is a complex manuscript consists of mathematical & numerological patterns that form the basic foundation of the poetic work. The parallels between La Divinia Commedia & architecture are relevant but often missed. The literal, typological, tropological & anagogical are similar to how we refer to buildings. Literal, the interpretation of events in a story of a historical purpose without any underlying meaning - A Reference/Study; Typological, usually used to depict a connection or allegorical connections of events in the Bible - An Approach/Concept; Tropological, sometimes called Moral is how someone acts at the present - A Client; and Anagogical, relates to spiritual/mystical future events in Christian history - Application.

Thinking of affairs, it's not good news for the Peter Robinson especially when his wife Iris was galavanting with the young Kirk McCambley. The Northern Ireland First Minister had to 'resolutely defend' attacks on his character as a result. Meanwhile, randy Iris Robinson claimed mental illness thus unable to comment regarding the affair. How Divine is Comedy?
