A few more "stay calm and busy at home" type videos for the covid-19 pandemic, from Dolce & Gabbana. First, Helen Mirren reads us a poem (really, she should do that everyday, but this one will have to suffice), then, below the jump, Il Volo perform their “Grande Amore”, “O sole mio” by Enrico Caruso and "Turandot's Nessun Dorma" by Giacomo Puccini. Next up, an 8 minute crochet session with Gayane, and last, Francesco shows you how to re-pot a cactus.
Love Helen Mirren. Love Hafez. I believe I will have to watch this every single day for a while.
My favorite quote by Hafez is, something like:
“Your heart and my heart are very, very old friends.”
I am ashamed to report that I did not have time this morning to hear the whole thing. Planning to listen to all of it later tonight. But Helen Mirren reading poetry is exactly what I need right now!
