Innocentandvain - Unfold Me

Fra i diversi strumenti dell'uomo, il più stupefacente è, senza dubbio, il libro. Gli altri sono estensioni del suo corpo. Il microscopio, il telescopio, sono estensioni della sua vista; il telefono è estensione della voce; poi ci sono l'aratro e la spada, estensioni del suo braccio. Ma il libro è un'altra cosa: il libro è un'estensione della memoria e dell'immaginazione.

John Lennon was an English musician who gained worldwide fame as one of the founders of The Beatles, for his subsequent solo career, and for his political activism. He was shot by Mark David Chapmanat the entrance of the building where he lived, The Dakota, in New York City, on Monday, 8 December 1980; Lennon had just returned from Record Plant Studio with his wife, Yoko Ono.

Lennon was pronounced dead on arrival at St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital Center, where it was stated that nobody could have lived for more than a few minutes after sustaining such injuries. Shortly after local news stations reported Lennon’s death, crowds gathered at Roosevelt Hospital and in front of The Dakota. He was cremated on 10 December 1980, at the Ferncliff Cemetery in Hartsdale, New York; theashes were given to Ono, who chose not to hold a funeral for him.
