Dies Iræ, Dies Illa, Solvet Sæclum In Favilla

[melayneseahawk]

Strange moment. Frezzo had been talking about the "Dies Irae", a portion of the requiem mass that supposedly is so connected to death that it is often reused to symbolize death all over the place. I, surprisingly enough, had never heard it before. So much later, I sat down and was listening to Rent, which was what was on my playlist from last night, and "La Vie Boheme" comes on. And, lo and behold, there it is: " dies irae, dies illa." I almost died.

Added amusement. Sam and I, when he suggested I work on my NYU application:
Tanker571: go!
Tanker571: conquer
Tanker571: and pillage
MelayneGoldhawk: lol
MelayneGoldhawk: "accept my application and i will spare your puny university"
Tanker571: hahaha
